When Hollywood was Fun

This beautiful book brings back Hollywood's "golden era" in an unparalleled collection of intimate, behind-the-scenes photographs of the most glamorous stars of Hollywood's heyday. Gene Lester, a photographer who worked for the Saturday Evening Post, Silver Screen, and other important magazines of the era, and whose beat was Hollywood, had unrestricted access to the biggest stars of the thirties, forties, fifties, and early sixties. He was with them for their public moments as well as their private ones, in their fabulous homes, in the nightclubs, in the country clubs, and on the movie sets, capturing them up close and personal in a way they were never seen on the big screen.
