Product Description
Young actresses—starlets—publicized as future stars, were signed up by the hundreds in the 50s and 60s. These low-paid trainees were given minor roles to test out for stardom. A few made it.

From the now-forgotten Joan O’Brien and Anne Helm to superstars Natalie Wood and Jane Fonda, from Elke Sommer and Senta Berger to Disney discovery Hayley Mills, Starlet details 54 careers. Entries incorporate material from the starlets themselves, coworkers and critics. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars The starlets of the 1960's, April 24, 2009

By	amoviefan (Fort Lauderdale, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Starlet: Biographies, Filmographies, TV Credits and Photos of 54 Famous and Not So Famous Leading Ladies of the 60's (Paperback)

A wonderful book with 54 short but sweet biographies of those that went onto stardom and those who faded after the era. Everyone from Raquel Welch and Sharon Tate to Stella Stevens and Natalie Wood. Includes 2-4 pictures of eash actress and filmographies. Very good book for fans of the fabulous sixties. Since it's out of print, it's nice to find it here on Amazon.
