Star Style at the Academy Awards: A Century of Glamour

Rating:
Summary: Wake the dead
Review: A dull book for people who know nothing about the subject. The photos are barely accaptable, especially for the subject matter.

Example: Joanne Woodward's extraordinary outfit (given her persona) for the Oscar she gave to Davis Lean for Robert Bolt's screenplay for Doctor Zhivago.

Too much is missed.

Review: I love this book. There are so many pictures and so much information..it is such a joy to look through! There are great pictures of everyone from Mary Pickford, Norma Shearer, Vivien Leigh to Celine Dion, Kate Winslet, and Gwyneth Paltrow! A must have for film or fashion buffs! Also recommended: "Star Style", also by Patty Fox.

Review: I thought this book was fantastic too. I just want to add that the description of the book above says black/white photography -- there's lots of color photography in this book and the color is gorgeous. There's also a shot of Marilyn Monroe at the Academy Awards and I have never seen it! I especially loved the special sections on Audrey Hepburn, Bette Davis and Geena Davis, showing how their fashion evolved (the good taste days, not the bad). There's also a section on men. Some of the early fashion is even better than the recent gowns. I agree. This is a must-have!
