Customer comments on this selection.
 The best of its kind
From the arresting, surprising cover photo of Rock Hudson
through the many artistic, iconic portraits taken by the unsung 'stillsmen' who worked at all the major movie studios, Robert Dance has fashioned a wonderful paean to the mostly forgotten photgraphers, to the ever-glamorous stars and to John Kobal, who had
the good sense, passion and wherewithal to collect and save these
images from being lost forever.
 Wonderful book with beautiful portraits.
I love this book. It's has some the greatest images of Hollywood's superstars of the first half of the last century. I give it 4 out of 5 stars for 2 reasons. (1) For fans of the Kobal collection, you will recognize many of the images from earlier books put out when John Kobal was alive. Personally I have seen, in other books of his (Kobal), about 60% of the portraits that appeared in this book. (2) The book has some beautiful color portraits that I wasn't expecting, but, again, a few were repeated in other books. Also, being the greedy person I am, there just wasn't enough of them (only about 6 in the whole book). There is however a wonderful color portrait of Lana Turner from 1938, that I had never seen, that's worth the price of the entire book!
