'A splendid anthology' Kevin Brownlow, author of The Parade's Gone
By and Hollywood: The Pioneers. This pathbreaking work will become
our most valuable resource on the performers of the American silent
screen. Hollywood was the new frontier of the 20th century. ('The
last Klondike, ' Gary Cooper called it.) Here are brief biographies
of 176 people who won leading roles plus more dramatic reports on
33 of them how they reached fame and fortune, 'some sad and happy
endings, ' analyses of the images of America they presented. Two
special chapters: Pickford and Fairbanks, Swanson and Valentino."
