Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text to Hollywood Players: The Forties by James Robert Parish and Lennard DeCarl.For Hollywood, World War II meant a greater demand for both escapist films and realistic war movies.

This volume probes the lives and films of these players, uncovering gossipy details about moviemaking and starmaking, and revealing glimpses into the personalities and lives of these 83 stars. How they grappled with the Hollywood studio system provides a rare look at how Tinseltown functioned behind the cameras at that time.The roster of Hollywood Players: The Forties includes individual career/biography chapters on: Robert Alda, Louise Allbritton, the Andrews Sisters, Evelyn Ankers, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Diana Barrymore, William Bendix, Turhan Bey, Vivian Blaine, Janet Blair, Ann Blyth, Eddie Bracken, Scott Brady, Barbara Britton, Geraldine Brooks, Rod Cameron, Macdonald Carey, Jack Carson, Marguerite Chapman, Dane Clark, Steve Cochran, Richard Conte, Tom Conway, Wendell Corey, Laird Cregar, Cass Daley, Billy De Wolfe, Bobby Driscoll, Dan Duryea, Wild Bill Elliott, Faye Emerson, Dale Evans, William Eythe, Betty Field, Barry Fitzgerald, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Nina Foch, Susanna Foster, Mona Freeman, Peggy Ann Garner, Virginia Gilmore, Farley Granger, Sydney Greenstreet, Signe Hasso, June Havoc, Sterling Hayden, Dick Haymes, Wanda Hendrix, John Hodiak, Celeste Holm, Tim Holt, Robert Hutton, Harry James, Arthur Kennedy, Evelyn Keyes, Joan Leslie, Oscar Levant, John Lund, Lon McCallister, Dorothy Malone, George Montgomery, Patricia Morison, Tom Neal, Donald O'Connor, Dennis O'Keefe, Janis Paige, Robert Paige, Larry Parks, Robert Preston Ella Raines, Gail Russell, Peggy Ryan, Sabu, Martha Scott, Zachary Scott, Kent Smith, Craig Stevens, Gale Storm, Sonny Tufts, Martha Vickers, Dooley Wilson, Teresa Wright, and Gig Young.With anecdotes, film listings, production notes, contemporary reviews, and commentary about films, filmmaking, and filmmakers, Hollywood Players: The Forties throws new intriguing light on the cinema decade that saw Hollywood's star burn brightest.

The George Raft File: The Unauthorized Biography

The George Raft File: The Unauthorized Biography

Steven Whitney; James Robert Parish

nidottu
Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text to The George Raft File by James Robert Parish with Steven Whitney.Hollywood's toughest rough guy was born in New York City's "Hell's Kitchen" in 1895. As a young adult George Raft became a professional boxer, then a dancehall gigolo, and later appeared in Broadway musical revues. Meanwhile, he retained his associations with the infamous underworld pals of his youth. A small role in Queen of the Nightclubs (1929) launched his Hollywood career. His strong performance in Scarface (1932) led to his Paramount contract. Later, at Warner Bros. he appeared in such genre classics as They Drive By Night (1940). Thereafter, as a freelancer his movies included Whistle Stop (1946) and the memorable Some Like It Hot (1959). For a rugged he-man, George Raft was self-conscious about his short stature, his acting limitations, and his lack of formal education. However, he was proud of his career, his patriotic efforts during World War II, and the publicity that resulted from his lavish lifestyle. This colorful individual once said, "If I had a chance to be reborn tomorrow there is not much I would want to change." An annotated filmography supplements this revealing study of iconic movie star George Raft.

Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text to Vincent Price Unmasked by James Robert Parish and Steven Whitney.Long known to movie fans as the "King of Horror," Vincent Price once reflected, "I sometimes feel that I'm impersonating the dark unconscious of the whole human race. I know this sounds sick, but I love it." Over the decades, he appeared in such notable screen thrillers as Tower of London, House of Wax, The Fly, The Tingler, Pit and the Pendulum, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, and Madhouse.But the real-life Vincent Price was also the personification of a complete Renaissance man who insisted: "A man who limits his interests limits his life." This is the fascinating story behind the actor who became one of the most cultured-and popular-men of his time. From his appearances in more than 100 films and thousands of radio and TV shows the actor is well known. However, he also authored best-selling art books, lectured extensively on art and history, supervised the purchase of thousands of works of fine arts, wrote gourmet cookbooks, and served on the Indian Arts & Crafts Board. Vincent Price Unmasked is the engrossing portrait of this multi-faceted, highly talented celebrity. Completing this illuminating narrative is an annotated filmography.

Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text to The All-Americans by James Robert Parish and Don E. Stanke.It may be hard to believe, but it was only a few decades ago that Hollywood's films were considered ambassadors for the American way of life. Those motion pictures featured many fine actors who represented the best the United States had to offer-among them, seven outstanding male performers.Somehow or other, these seven men captured the essence of America. Was it their laconic, low-key, almost shy, but strong emoting? Or was it the sort of screen role they typically played: a hero without heroics, quietly going about his business? Just what was the secret of their "All-American" cinema presence?The All-Americans provides expansive career studies of these seven actors, detailed filmographies, and penetrating accounts of their offcamera lives. The result is a long overdue chronicle of seven Hollywood worthies representing the clean-cut American guy who could always be depended upon in films to do the right thing . . . and still head off into the sunset with the heroine.The seven wholesome leading men profiled in The All-Americans are: GARY COOPER. "That fellow is the world's greatest actor."-John Barrymore.HENRY FONDA. An ageless picture of integrity.WILLIAM HOLDEN. "He is beyond acting. You never doubt or question what he is."-Billy Wilder.ROCK HUDSON. The very handsome leading man who, surprisingly, had superb acting talents.FRED MacMURRAY. For decades, his perfected double-take and patented smile kept him at the top of his professional game.RONALD REAGAN. Did studio mogul Jack Warner know he was responsible for his star's integrity and future entry into politics?JAMES STEWART. A magical capacity for sincerity and believability.This then is the impressive lineup featured in The All-Americans.

Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text to The Leading Ladies by James Robert Parish and Don E. Stanke.Each of these major Hollywood movie stars had her own very special blend of glamour, persistence, and magnetism. One was a flippant, saucer-eyed, wisecracking blonde. Another was a sharp-edged rugged individualist. A third was delicate-looking, a demure pretty heroine with great reserves of strength. All six major talents profiled in this volume were uniquely themselves. But they had one thing in common: the tenacity and adaptability to survive in the Hollywood film business for many decades. They were the great, indestructible Leading Ladies.JOAN BLONDELL: "I play Joan Blondell, and I play her the best the I can."JOAN CRAWFORD: "A Star will last always, as in the heavens. A personality will go down just as quick as it appears."BETTE DAVIS: "I survived because I was tougher than everybody else."OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND: "I love to work. It's something I need very much."ROSALIND RUSSELL: "It's okay to have talent. But talent is the least of it. In a performance or a career, you've got to have vitality."BARBARA STANWYCK: "I'm the best action actress in the world. I can do horse drags, jump off buildings, and I have the scars to prove it." The six lengthy career studies in The Leading Ladies are enhanced by detailed filmographies and expansive personal narratives of these inimitable Hollywood stars that are full of insights into what made them such enduring, unforgettable Tinseltown legends.

Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text to The Swashbucklers by James Robert Parish and Don E. Stanke.Thankfully, movies have always been "behind the times." Take military science. While advanced aircraft carriers and the newest artillery made the old ways of warfare obsolete, one feisty band of mounted swordsmen continued to flail away on the screen. These were the Swashbucklers-heroes of a thousand exciting films from silents to talkies and on to the latest widescreen epics. Sometimes knighted by their king, but always embraced by their one true love, acclaimed by adoring peasants, these dashing cinema champions nevertheless worked their stirring derring-do adventures without proper recognition-until now.The Swashbucklers brings you these daring movie heroes up close and personal. Let their names ring out : TYRONE POWER-he handled six-shooters, rapiers, horses, and beautiful women with the same wiry and enduring strength.ERROL FLYNN-hero of a self-destructive lifestyle where the ending could only be tragic, he will always be Robin Hood.DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS SR.-when Hollywood was truly Camelot, he reigned as the gallant, fun-loving monarch both on and off the soundstage.RONALD COLMAN-what was the elusive something this charming vivid star added to his every film role? STEWART GRANGER-he proved to be too dashing and gallant for a mere movie screen.VICTOR MATURE-this Beautiful Hunk of a Man had a great saving grace: an infectious sense of humor.CORNEL WILDE-celluloid villains bothered him less than onscreen stereotypes.TONY CURTIS-Clifton Webb educated the kid from the Bronx on how to wear clothes; Frank Sinatra taught him something more dangerous.The Swashbucklers contains comprehensive career studies of these eight genre standout actors, including reviews of all their movies, detailed filmographies, and comprehensive accounts of their intriguing offcamera lives. This book captures the thud-and-blunderbuss sagas that turned the Silver Screen into a wonderfully inaccurate history book - where villains paid the price, beggars did ride on horseback, and virtue and gallantry always carried the day.
