Book Description

Architectural Digest November 1, 2005
Among the most popular articles in Architectural Digest's illustrious eight-decade history is the series featuring the homes of Hollywood movie stars and directors since the 1930s. Hollywood at Home presents 25 of the best of those articles, offering an intimate look at some of the silver screen's most fascinating personalities, as reflected in their lavish, inventively designed, and, at times, outrageously opulent homes.

Mixing the old with the new-from Jean Harlow and Clark Gable to Steven Spielberg and, more recently, Diane Keaton-Hollywood at Home provides an up-close-and-personal room-by-room tour of the private residences of such Tinseltown immortals as Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Katharine Hepburn, Dennis Quaid, and Cher. The text and images appear as in the original articles, with minor editorial updates and, in a few cases, additional photography not seen in the original feature. Our endless fascination with the lifestyles of the rich and famous continues unabated, and this glamorous book will enthrall celebrity watchers as well as those interested in architecture and design.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Readers who love the glamour and mystique of Hollywood will be eager to peruse this collection of profiles of famous stars and lush color photographs of their often magnificent homes, inside and out. The book encompasses starlets from the early days of Hollywood on up to some of today's biggest names. Great fun is to be had gazing at the opulence of some of the stars' homes, from Cher's eternity pool (which viewed from her terrace looks as though it reaches the ocean) to the many paintings that decorated the walls of Greta Garbo's New York apartment. Not all of the celebrities profiled here were ostentatious--Clark Gable and Carole Lombard purposely cultivated a simple image with their ranch. And the true attention grabbers are the more unusual celeb abodes, like Angelica Huston and Robert Graham's angular, modern dwelling or Jayne Mansfield's pink-carpeted bathroom. This delightful look at the homes and intimate lives of stars is sure to be a popular title. Kristine Huntley

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Collection Of Pictures!, December 5, 2005
By 
MrsSchmidlapp (Hollywood, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hollywood at Home (Architectural Digest) (Hardcover)
This is a terrific book! It's a large coffee table book with rare photos of Jayne Mansfield, Jean Harlow, Judy Garland, Carole Lombard, and Marilyn Monroe in their homes. You get to see Jayne in her heart shaped bathtub, Jean looking at her autograph collection, and Judy singing in her bedroom. There are also some wonderful articles written by David Stenn, Gerald Clarke, and others. The book has some current actors in it too (John Travolta, Diane Keaton). It would make a wonderful gift for a classic film fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST-HAVE VOLUME!!, July 31, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hollywood at Home (Architectural Digest) (Hardcover)
This book is just sumptous! A wonderful look into the lives of Hollywood legends via color and b&w photos. I especially like the older stars featured: Carole Lombard, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, etc. I have most of the Architectual Digest magazines featuring Hollywood stars, but this book includes additional photos for some of the stars and is presented so beautifully that even those who own the mags should get a copy. Printed on heavy glossy stock, this is an oustanding book that every Hollywood fan should have in their library!
