Profusely illustrated. *** "Through the artistry of Sid Avery's beautifully composed photographs, taken during his shooting sessions for the Saturday evening post in the fifties and early sixties, and Richard Schickel's fascinating commentary on their place in the shifting Hollywood of the day, Hollywood at home provides a unique behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood at the crossroads between the last great glamour years and the TV decade . Alternately moving and funny, Avery's pictures capture both the sublime and the ridiculous in Hollywood. They convey a sensitivity to the private people behind public lives and the sometimes ironic differences between the two. From Humphrey Bogart--in a still life of perfect domesticity--pictured in his living room with his pregnant wife, Lauren Bacall, their son, and their triplet dogs, to Rock Hudson looking irresistible at home and at play with friends in a game of charades, to tender portraits of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean, Steve McQueen, Ernest Borgnine, Ed Wynn, and so many others, this is an invaluable collection for all film and photography lovers." - Publisher.
