All-American men such as Gary Cooper and Clark Gable shared the screen with sirens such as Marlene Dietrich and Hedy Lamarr, two among many who began acting in Europe and found lasting fame in southern California. They were soon joined by Vivien Leigh and Charles Boyer. All the great Hollywood photographers whose careers were resurrected by John Kobal in dozens of books are included. Later silent stars such as Garbo and Crawford, who rose to even greater cinematic heights when the movies began to speak, are featured in series of images showing how those two star faces were magically transformed into thrilling exemplars of 1930s glamour.Better known are the great players from the 1930s whose names today form the bedrock of Hollywood history. The exhibition will be arranged to show both the sweep of glamour photography as well as to focus on the unique style of each of the leading camera artists.Also available:Hollywood Cats ISBN 9781851497577Hollywood Dogs ISBN 9781851496785Hollywood Unseen ISBN 9781851496808I Used to be in Pictures ISBN 9781851497539.
