Hollywood Warts 'N' All, Volume 2

This second volume gathers a long run of Hollywood stories from the film industry's early century. Its pages cover on-set quarrels, secret romances and affairs, and the cover-ups studios used to keep trouble out of the press. Behind-the-scenes tragedies sit alongside lighter anecdotes, and the casting couch comes up more than once. Written as a set of amusing, sometimes shocking tales, it offers a backstage look at the stars and power brokers who shaped American movies, with a showman's eye for the scandal beneath the glamour.
