Description de l'ouvrage :
Bob Willoughby is one of the foremost photojournalists of the movie industry, and was the first “outside” photographer to work on Hollywood closed sets. Since the early 1950s he has documented the making of hundreds of Hollywood films, taking intimate portraits of stars and directors that reflect the drama and emotions of movie-making both on and off the screen. From such 1950s classics as Anthony Mann’s The Glenn Miller Story, Nicholas Ray’s Rebel Without a Cause, and Otto Preminger’s The Man With the Golden Arm, through such major films of the 1960s and 1970s as George Cukor’s My Fair Lady, Mike Nichols’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby, Sydney Pollack’s They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, and David Lean’s Ryan’s Daughter to such films of the 1980s as John Landis’s An American Werewolf in London and Jean-Jacques Annaud’s In the Name of the Rose, this book is a fascinating album of Bob Willoughby’s memorable shots. Here you will see directors guiding, cajoling, coaxing, shouting at, or even pleading with such luminaries as Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, William Holden, Montgomery Clift, Jane Fonda, Katharine Hepburn, Jack Lemmon, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Sophia Loren, Rex Harrison, Sean Connery and Peter O’Toole into giving what is often one of the greatest performances of their lives. With more than 500 illustrations, accompanied by Willoughby’s own fascinating observations of how each film was made, The Star Makers is a stunning and engaging tribute to the most popular art form and to some of the greatest and most creative personalities of modern times.
