Short entries on topics that anyone who has read John Gilmore already know, but for the Hollywood death trip, beginner, this is a good place to start. Lots of pictures. It's a shallow but wide pond. So, you know, if your mom is way interested in finding out whatever happened to Diana Dorrs or Mario Lanza, get her this book. ( ) A few of the people in this book had happy lives. They're included in this book because of a bizarre or unexpected death, but most of the famous, near-famous or never-was actors in this book are there for the unhappiness or bad decisions that ultimately lead to their death. There are the famous stars like Monroe, many character actors you'd recognize and many more who lived on the fringe of Hollywood. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Rebel Without a Cause was one of the most talked-about movies of the 1950s. It might also have been the most jinxed. Among its stars, James Dean was soon killed in a car crash, Sal Mineo died several years later, murdered by an unknown assailant, and the beautiful Natalie Wood died mysteriously when she fell from a docked pleasure boat and drowned. This heavily illustrated book recounts these and many other tragic events that have haunted the Hollywood movie community from its early-twentieth-century beginnings to the present day. Here are accounts of the sudden, premature deaths of stars like Rudolph Valentino, Montgomery Clift, and Peter Sellers. Here too are stories about celebrities who died young because of alcohol or drug-related problems--John Belushi and Elvis Presley among many others--and of the tragic 1998 murder of comedian Phil Hartman. Car wrecks, plane crashes, and other deadly accidents sent Jayne Mansfield, Grace Kelly, and Carole Lombard, to untimely deaths, and accidents occurring during film production have taken several lives, perhaps the most dramatic being the helicopter crash that killed Vic Morrow in 1983. The tragic stories of many Hollywood personalities are told in Cut!, the definitive volume on the fleeting lives of movie celebrities, some of whom became more famous in death than they had been in life. Hundreds of photos, many in color. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
