Lives and Letters (Hardcover)

The product of a lifetime immersed in the literary, performing arts, and entertainment worlds, "Lives and Letters" spotlights the work, careers, intimate lives, and lasting achievements of a vast array of celebrated writers and performers in film, theatre, and dance, and some of the more curious iconic public figures of our times. These figures range: from the world of literature, Charles Dickens, James Thurber, Judith Krantz, John Steinbeck, and Rudyard Kipling; the controversies surrounding Bruno Bettelheim and Elia Kazan; and, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and her editor, Maxwell Perkins; and from dance and theatre, Isadora Duncan and Margot Fonteyn, Serge Diaghilev and George Balanchine, Sarah Bernhardt and Eleonora Duse. In Hollywood, Bing Crosby and Judy Garland, Douglas Fairbanks and Lillian Gish, Tallulah Bankhead and Katharine Hepburn, Mae West and Anna May Wong. In New York, Diana Vreeland, the Trumps, and Gottlieb's own take on the contretemps that followed his replacing William Shawn at "The New Yorker". And so much more...
