Beginning with the first silent films to the "talkies" of the late 1920s and early 1930s to today’s blockbuster hits, movies have spawned icons for each generation. From Rudolph Valentino to Clark Gable to George Clooney, from Clara Bow to Katherine Hepburn to Angelina Jolie, this volume spotlights all our favorites. Starting with child stars like Shirley Temple and Drew Barrymore, the book is organized into chapters that spotlight femme fatales Mae West and Marilyn Monroe, rugged heroes like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, musical stars including Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, and Judy Garland, comedians such as Danny Kaye and Woody Allen, and many more. A cast of thousands is featured in this splendid little compendium, bringing our favorite film stars into our own homes, all showcased in the vivid photographs and appealing format of White Star’s bestselling CubeBooks series. Packed with portraits and stills of memorable scenes from close to a century of movies, this generous little volume will win rave reviews from movie buffs of all ages.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Could have been much better,
By Cheryl L. Wilson "Cheryl Wilson * book enthu... (Hewlett, Long Island NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Movie Stars (CubeBook) (Hardcover)
The book itself could have been alot better, just pictures is not enough for anyone to want to buy it. I thought it would have some discriptions of the actors, and actresses, say they about their lives, or how they started out. This book was just pictures of the stars, nothing more, therefor its worthless except maybe young people just to look at.
