Description
From the moment he was given his first extensive movie assignment on Judy Garland's A Star is Born, Bob Willoughby began a remarkable journey, working non-stop with the publicity departments of all the major Hollywood studios. He chronicled the production of 100 films as the first "outside" photographer brought on to what were, at the time, closed sets. Willoughby compiled a stunning collection of candid shots and intimate portraits of some of Hollywood's biggest stars during his long and heralded career Those photos, along with inside stories, amusing anecdotes, and personal observations, are brought together in a loving tribute to some of the greatest screen stars of the 20th century. Hollywood: A Journey Through the Stars also goes beyond film -- it represents a lifetime of capturing images of actors, directors, jazz musicians, and dancers. Tender and revealing, Bob Willoughby offers a rare look into his personal life and the public lives he documented. ILLUSTRATIONS
