Publisher's Synopsis
A compilation of LOS ANGELES TIMES photos from 1920 to 1981 that offers a timeless chronicle of Hollywood life, including marriages, divorces, births, deaths, lawsuits, celebrations and even arrests. These are the events captured on film before international throngs of paparazzi began hounding celebrities in their hangouts, cars and private moments. The realism of these shots - some posed, but most completely candid - illustrates the high personal exposure that every Hollywood star eventually curses. Art and news are combined in this early documentation of celebrity.
