520 1 |a "This collection of thirty-seven reminiscences recalls the town's "glory days" in the words of actors, directors, cinematographers, agents, studio executives, and screenwriters - though shop clerks, newsboys, secretaries, models, and many other ordinary folks with extraordinary Tinseltown tales are also given their due. Herein, actor Karl Malden reflects on a Los Angels before cars, freeways, and traffic gridlock; entertainer Steve Allen discusses the innate allure and charm of early Hollywood; comedian Jonathan Winters talks candidly about his early misadventures in film and television; screenwriter Walter Bernstein offers insights into his nightmarish experiences with blacklisting and McCarthyism; Wizard of Oz munchkin Jerry Maren corrects common misconceptions about the making of that watershed movie; actress Evelyn Keyes chronicles meeting and working with every celebrity talent in young Hollywood; Marie Windsor discusses her life as the "Queen of the B-Movies" and much more." "Also included are an extensive history of Hollywood and a substantial listing of significant and historic locations herein. Zollo's evocative book creates an unabashedly nostalgic tone, charting how the influx of the movie studios, notorious nightclubs, hotels, and remarkable homes infused this once-sleepy burg with an irrepressible glamour and magic that can still be found to this day, if one knows where to look."--BOOK JACKET.
