This book is the story of the movies, told through the people who star in them and those who work behind the scenes.
All the great stars are here - the Garbos, Brandos, Deans and Monroes - each individually described, with pictures of them in their greatest roles. Also included are individual accounts of the great directors including Sam Mendes, Francis Coppola and Oliver Stone.
The highs of Hollywood Oscars and the lows of Hollywood scandals and tragedies are also covered. Up-to-date information on computer-generated imagery, digital animation and special effects allows you a closer look at the silver screen.
