Customer Reviews:
Mom's favorite stars.......2007-05-19
I bought this book because it reminded me of my mother, who loved the movies. She used to buy the star magazines of the times and cut and pasted three scrapbooks with pictures, some of which I recognized in this book. My kids played with the scrapbooks, which got a little ragged, so I threw them out....oh, the unsentimentality of youth. I would love to have the books now, but since I can't ,Movie-Star Portraits of the Forties comes in a nice second. The pictures are beautiful and even if you don't remember the stars, (I do), you will enjoy the glamour and real sexiness of those movie stars of yore.
Movie-Star Portraits of the Forties.......2007-02-16
If you like black and white portraits your at the right book; a source of inspiration for my photography assignment.
Great images and inspiring for photographers.......2007-01-11
If you love old style Hollywood photography this book is a must for your collection. My only wish was that it showed some of the lighting and techniques used to take the images. But as far as a straight forward picture book goes even if your not a photographer you'll enjoy the great looks and drama from the past.
Movie-Star Portraits of the Forties.......2006-07-22
