Citizen Kane meets Sunset Boulevard as a creative visionary battles
a tight-fisted money man and his own vices to make Biblical epics
and usher in Hollywood's Golden Age. Complications arise when his
relationship with his two mistresses threatens to destroy his
family. C.B. DeMille is the story of Cecil B. DeMille, the famous
Hollywood director/producer of such hits as Cleopatra, The Ten
Commandments, The Greatest Show On Earth, and many others. In this
novelization of the beginnings of director Cecil B. DeMille's film
career starting as a failed stage actor in the early 1900?s,
Hammond reveals the director's early family life in New York City,
his relationship with his wife and young daughter and exposes his
evident character flaws. In "C. B. DeMille: The Man Who Invented
Hollywood," the reader will discover the origins of the then
burgeoning film industry and what led DeMille to leave New York for
a little-known southern California town called Hollywoodland, to
follow his new calling as a film director. "Once out west, DeMille,
along with Adolph Zukor and Jesse L. Lasky, form 'Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation' later changed to 'Paramount Famous Lasky
Corporation' the forerunner to Paramount Pictures Studios.
Hammond's lightning-paced novel highlights the great filmmaker's
Hollywood odyssey of excess, infidelity, redemption and reverence,
leading to the most celebrated figure in entertainment history and
the "Greatest Showman on Earth."
