Synopsis

Nothing grabs the mind like a finely crafted film. Memorable lines strike an instant impression, and imagery provides celluloid art to enjoy time and again. Bypassing the legendary stars from the Studio Era's Golden Age, Forgotten Hollywood Forgotten History focuses on the character actors such as Lionel Barrymore, Claude Rains, Walter Brennan, Thelma Ritter, Thomas Mitchell, and Basil Rathbone

About this title

From the Author:

"I tell seldom-told tales, a reflection of America's story experienced through the eyes of character actors of Hollywood's Golden Age.  Great films as Captain's Courageous,  Stagecoach, and It's a Wonderful Life (among others) should never be forgotten. Neither should the impressive work of Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, Paddy Chayefsky, or Eugene O'Neill.
 
The fabric of our collective past has a shared cinematic and historical relationship. It's part of our unique education of what we call... The Humanities."

From the Back Cover:

This is one of those books you don't want to read in a rush. Allow yourself the luxury of a chapter at a time, embrace the storytelling method that merges fact and fiction and delivers some fascinating insights into some of cinema's favorite character actors.
