This book lets us see, with dramatic impact, the artistry of the Hollywood studio photographers, whose portraits of Crawford, Garbo, Cooper and the others both revolutionized photographic portraiture and, to an enormous extent, formed our vision of the great Hollywood faces.

One hundred and fifty portraits of some of Hollywood's most glamorous stars are featured in a study of the art and technique of such great portrait photographers as Ruth Harriet Louise, Ernest Bachrach, George Hurrell, and Lazlo Willinger
