    A MUST HAVE HOLLYWOOD BOOK
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2022*

For any film historian or movie buff, LETTERS FROM HOLLYWOOD: INSIDE THE PRIVATE WORLD OF CLASSIC AMERICAN MOVIEMAKING by film producer-director, author Rocky Lang and former Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences archivist Barbara Hall, is a glorious treasure trove of cinema history.The book is a wealth of correspondence of those who made and participated in the history of Hollywood, beginning with a letter from Harry Houdini  regarding his first “super special” THE MAN FROM BEYOND to Adolph Zukor from 1921, up to Jane Fonda’s sensitive letter to director Fred Zinnemann over her feelings about appearing as Lillian Hellman in JULIA.  In between are 329 oversize pages of equally fascinating reading, with actual correspondence pictured accompanied by numerous photographs and annotations.Amongst the many letters are those from Cecil B. De Mille, Jean Harlow’s mother to “The Baby’s” agent Arthur Landau, a long personal letter from Tyrone Power (in the service during WW2) to his studio boss Darryl F. Zanuck, a telegram from Greta Garbo to Marion Davies, tomes from Gloria Swanson, Hattie McDaniel, Irving Berlin, Bela Lugosi, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and on and on up to the mid-1970s.  All beautifully reproduced, and brilliantly compiled.What can I say…the large format, “coffee-table” sized LETTERS FROM HOLLYWOOD: INSIDE THE PRIVATE WORLD OF CLASSIC AMERICAN MOVIEMAKING is a MUST HAVE book for anyone serious about the history of Hollywood.

I’ve worked in Hollywood for over 50 years and lived here my whole life.I couldn’t put it down. As many stories as I have, these were incredible. I discovered so much about so many Hollywood greats, personal things and professional.I loved that it showed beneath everything, they are human beings.Thank you all for your hard work.

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2019*

Rocky Lang and Barbara Hall have assembled an endlessly fascinating collection of letters to and from Hollywood insiders--from the silent era right up to Tom Hanks. Each letter is a delight to be savored. (I've restrained myself and have been reading just one or two per day.)I was pleasantly surprised that Lang and Hall provide a written context for each and every letter. And many letters are accompanied by rare photographs of the letter's author and/or its recipient. So, even if you're not enough of a film nerd to know who, say, producer Carl Laemmle was, you can still get a lot of pleasure and amusement from each selection. Plus, the intros to the letters are informed by Hall's deep knowledge of film history, stemming in part from the many years she was an archivist for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.LETTERS FROM HOLLYWOOD will delight film fans and anyone who enjoys a candid look into the lives of movie stars. Plus, it's painlessly educational!
