(P/B) THE WORLD'S GREATEST HOLLYWOOD SCANDALS

Παρουσίαση

Since the early days of silent cinema, Hollywood has been regularly rocked by scandal. Drug-taking, brawls, divorce, sex, political persecution, grotesque suicides, mental breakdown, and murder most foul have figured prominently in the colourful history of Tinseltown. Robin Cross and John Marriot look at some of the more bizarre and celebrated Hollywood scandals - cases like John Belushi's death from a drug overdose, the alleged rape of a young starlet by Fatty Arbuckle, Sharon Tate's murder at the hands of Charles Manson's gang, the controversy surrounding films like The Last Temptation of Christ and Last Tango in Paris, the decline and tragic death of Frances Farmer, and how Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate bankrupted a major studio. Illustrated with a selection of classic black and white photographs, this book is a must for film fans everywhere who like to look behind the glamorous facade of Hollywood and the lives of its rich and famous.
