About this ebook
A renowned Hollywood press agent to the superstars.. a "starflacker" in a phrase his daughter coined for him.. captures the spirit of the Golden Age of Hollywood and of its legendary talents. His very personal experience of their wit, charm and antics, relived in well over a thousand anecdotes, defines a time of classic films and undying stardoms which made Hollywood the world's code-word for glamour and meaningful entertainment. Reflecting the distinctive originality of the hundreds of stars-forever with whom he worked and interwove, each tale is drawn from his sixty years at the top and on the inside, decades of cherished insights, amusements and adventures. In the process he reveals why there once was a time of beloved stardoms which defined and inspired the public's shared dreams and values.. and why it has slipped away.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Excellent glimpse of the real Hollywood and what elements made - and still make - stars in this town. Guttman masterfully takes us to an era where interesting characters where often more fascinating behind the cameras than in front, and guide us to have a better understanding of how PR people are responsible not only for the success of an actor's public image, but often the success of a film. Highly recommended book, can be actually a good film on itself. M
