4.0 out of 5 stars When glamour was glamour, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Four fabulous faces: Swanson, Garbo, Crawford, Dietrich (Hardcover)

As an adolescent, I must have spent hours studying my mom's copy of this book. On page after page of photos (from films, promotional shoots and other sources) I noted and compared the curve of eyebrows and shape of lips, the placement of beauty marks, the lines of hairstyles and figures, etc. Those images have stayed with me -- the very definition of womanly class and style. This book is full of beautifully done photographs of four strong, sexy women from a time when glamour was glamour. I highly recommend it.

I have the hardcopy version of this book. It was a birthday or Christmas present many years ago. I remember it was $40, which was a lot for a book back in the early 1970's. I poured over that book, especially the section on Garbo to see how she did her eyes. I glance at this book every now and then to remember my teenage years.
