Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine dj. Illustrated by (dj photos) Mario Casilli and George Hurrell (illustrator). First American Edition. [minimal shelfwear to book; jacket shows only light surface scuffing, mostly to rear panel]. (B&W photographs) INSCRIBED "To _______ -- With thanks / for my favourite / photograph! / Affectionately" and SIGNED by the author on the ffep. Autobiography of the British-born actress who was a pretty hot property in the 1950s but walked away for a bit after failing to land the title role in CLEOPATRA. She worked her way slowly back to stardom, largely in American TV, during the 1960s and into the 1970s, but her film career was just sputtering along until she starred in the 1978 British film THE STUD (based on her sister Jackie's novel), which brought her back to the top. This book was first published in England that same year, to take advantage of her newfound visibility -- but bigger stuff lay ahead, comeback-wise, when she landed the plum role of Alex Carrington in the series "Dynasty," and pretty much dominated that show from its second season (1981/82) until its demise in 1989, garnering numerous Golden Globe award nominations for her performance. In 1984, this updated edition of the book appeared, with about fifty pages or so of added material to bring it up to date. (Also in 1984, she famously posed for a Playboy magazine pictorial feature, photographed by the great George Hurrell, one of whose black-and-white portraits of her graces the rear jacket panel here.)

Ten original jumbo oversize photographs taken by noted photographer George Hurrell, comprising the entirety of his Portfolio III series. Each photograph signed and numbered by Hurrell, all No. 39 from an edition of 50. Shot between 1932 and 1944, and struck by Hurrell in 1979. Hurrell produced a total of 23 series, each comprised of ten images, struck from his original negatives and printed in various sizes, this being the largest. This portfolio includes some of Hurrell's most stunning and innovative glamour portraits from Hollywood's Golden Age, with images of John Barrymore (circa 1932), Charles Boyer (circa 1938), James Cagney (circa 1932), Joan Crawford (circa 1932), Jascha Heifetz (circa 1938), Veronica Lake (circa 1941), Gilbert Roland (circa 1939), Ann Sheridan (circa 1938), Gene Tierney (circa 1944), and Anna May Wong (circa 1938). A trained painter, Hurrell was encouraged to pursue photography by Edward Steichen in the mid-1920s. By the late 1920s Hurrell had opened a photography studio in Los Angeles, specializing in society portraits-a venture that would soon draw the attention of Hollywood. In 1930 he was asked to join MGM as head portrait photographer, quickly becoming one of the most sought after photographers of the stars. His career would encompass both Old and New Hollywood, as well as fashion and glamour photography for America's top corporations and publications, and he is now considered one of the most influential and accomplished portrait photographers of the twentieth century. Photographs 36 x 48 inches, mounted onto rigid polystyrene board. Fine. Shipping at cost.
