Rare notes, memos, and telegrams from Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, Jane Fonda, and more




Letters from Hollywood reproduces in full color scores of
entertaining and insightful pieces of correspondence from some of the
most notable and talented film industry names of all time—from the
silent era to the golden age, and up through the pre-email days of the
1970s. Culled from libraries, archives, and personal collections, the
135 letters, memos, and telegrams are organized chronologically and are
annotated by the authors to provide backstories and further context.
While each piece reveals a specific moment in time, taken together, the
letters convey a bigger picture of Hollywood history. Contributors
include celebrities like Greta Garbo, Alfred Hitchcock, Humphrey Bogart,
Frank Sinatra, Katharine Hepburn, Marlon Brando, Elia Kazan, Cary
Grant, Francis Ford Coppola, Tom Hanks, and Jane Fonda. This is the gift book of the season for fans of classic Hollywood.
