An illuminating view of the world as seen through the tinted lens
of Hollywood's most important chronicler of entertainment news and
show business. Variety is not only a fascinating look at the
history of entertainment as reported by the world's most highly
regarded commentator of show business news, it is also a history of
American popular culture and a record of the influence and
confluence of art, life, and Hollywood. Illustrated with hundreds
of front pages, its articles chronicle everything from Debbie
Reynolds's opinions of 1960s youth to how Steven Spielberg and Jaws
transformed the movie business. With new and archival photographs
spanning Variety's more-than-century-old archives, the book
includes exclusive essays by a host of well-regarded artists about
what Variety means to them, how Variety has impacted the
entertainment industry, and what they felt like the first time they
saw their names in Variety's pages. Variety is a decade-by-decade
documentation of such pivotal moments as the audience's move from
vaudeville houses to movie theaters, censorship, how Lucy and Desi
changed the face of television, Walter Cronkite's shaping of
America's view of the Vietnam War, the birth of the summer
blockbuster, the game-changing technology of Jurassic Park and
Avatar, and how the movies, television, and theater reflect
society's ever-changing social values and mores. The perfect gift
for anyone who loves Hollywood, Variety is also a
never-before-available look at the premier source of entertainment
reporting.
