Two years later, Hollywood went to war.
This is the story of the stars who served. It is the story those who raised money selling bonds. It is the story of those who put themselves in danger entertaining the troops on the front lines.
Reading like a Who’s Who of Hollywood’s A-list of the 1930s and the 1940s, these are the wartime stories of the men and women who went to war on and off the screen.
Although the book has a tendency to lean toward gossipy-ness, it spins out its stories as a tribute to the contributions of the men and women who stepped up to do what they could in wartime. It’s interesting reading, especially for aficionados of Hollywood’s Golden Age and/or the history of the Second World War.
The book is replete with photographs and includes an extensive bibliography and source list.
Highly recommended.… (mehr)
