A propos de cet article

Lenore Coffee arrived in Hollywood in 1919. The young girl had had her first original story accepted for filming by the Garson Studio and Harry Garson had offered her a year's contract to write for him. She was to provide scenarios, titles, captions, original stories, screenplays and all the other bits and pieces demanded of a writer by the infant film industry in its hick township. In the end she worked there for forty years, her born writer's senses recording ail she saw and heard in what for a brief span was believed to be the most romantic, most super-glamorous, stupendously exciting city in the world. Story line is Lenore Coffee's pungent memories of those incredible years. Every page is packed with the glitter of star names, some famous still, some once forgotten and only rediscovered in the recent awakening of interest in the early products of the film industry. Working as she did for such great names as Cecil B. de Mille, Louis Mayer, Irving Thalberg, Lenore Coffee knew everyone and saw everything. Here she tells fascinating stories of the stars, directors, producers, technicians, stand-ins; incidents of cinema life, funny, touching, improper; how she spotted Rudolph Valentino when he was working for $25 a day; the scandal which ruined Fatty Arbuckle; the shabby treatment she received from Thalberg; Cecil de Mille's unusual method of shooting; how she persuaded Cary Grant to star in a film he didn't want to make; Harry Warner, dressed as Christ for T'he Kiing of Kings. walking on to the set smoking, the morning paper under his arm. . In spite of the demands of this hectic studio work Miss Coffee had an ideally happy marriage, children, and a delightful home and social life. There have been many books of cinema history, but none like this-a star-studded, action-packed, intimate picture of the fabulous days of Hollywood at its zenith.
