"From the first page you are caught in its thrall and held there. . . . These shots tell a story and make the reader want to know more."--Dominick Dunne, New York Times Book Review "Seeing these pictures is like getting a belated invitation to some of the best parties in Hollywood history."--Leonard Maltin, Entertainment Tonight "Her pictures capture the feel of a playful, lost era, when everybody knew everybody else."--Harper's Bazaar Jean Howard, former Ziegfeld girl, MGM contract player, wife of a movie superagent, and one of Hollywood's most celebrated hostesses, is also a talented, perceptive photographer and an engaging raconteur. In this photographic memoir she provides a uniquely intimate look at the Hollywood she knew during the 1930s, '40s, '50s, and into the '60s.Howard's lens caught many of Hollywood's best-known personalities in relaxed, unguarded moments--working, traveling, partying in each other's homes. Here are Marilyn Monroe dancing with Clark Gable; Richard Burton and Judy Garland serenading fellow dinner guests; Rita Hayworth and Aly Kahn poolside in Cannes; and Jennifer Jones leading Fourth-of-July partygoers into the pool. Here too are sensitive portraits of James Dean and a young Marlon Brando, of Henry Fonda, Merle Oberon, Grace Kelly, Gene Tierney, and many others.Accompanying the photographs is a lively, intimate, anecdotal text, rendered by former Time, Inc., editor James Watters, in which Howard reminisces about the friends and events she captured with her camera.
