Foreword by Joan Collins Hollywood Unseen is a tribute to the
incredible inventiveness and ingenuity of the great Hollywood film
studios: Columbia, Paramount, MGM, Universal, Warner Brothers, RKO
and Twentieth Century Fox. From the late 1920s to the early 1950s
these studios presided over the 'Golden Age of Cinema', and their
publicity departments created some of the most stunning and iconic
images of Hollywood's stars ever taken. Here, for the first time,
are photographs showing the 'ordinary lives' of the stars,
including Rita Hayworth, Gary Cooper, Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn
Monroe. In reality, these photographs were as carefully constructed
and prepared as any classic portrait or scene, and they depicted
the actors and actresses exactly as the studios wanted them to be
seen. The publicity departments cleverly formed an idealised view
of the husbands, wives, children, pets, parties, premieres and
hobbies of the stars. Ironically, many of the images were only used
once or twice, and were then never seen again. Drawn from the
extensive archive of the John Kobal Foundation, this book showcases
an extraordinary collection of these hidden photographic gems. John
Kobal was an authority on Hollywood portrait photography, who
established a preeminent collection of works featuring iconic stars
of the day. The Getty Image Library in London will be hosting an
exhibition of these images to coincide with the publication of this
book.
