During Hollywood's Golden Age the publicity departments at Paramount, MGM, 20th Century Fox, Warner Brothers and other studios cranked out thousands of photographs of their stars. Along with straight glamor shots, the studios also produced candids, pictures showing actors and actresses being 'average Joes.' "Hollywood Unseen" brings together more than 200 such images to create a nostalgic photo guide to legendary Hollywood stars. Movie buffs will enjoy this nostalgic trip back to the glory days of Hollywood. Page after page of professionally-done images of legends such as Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Rita Hayworth, Ingrid Bergman, Burt Lancaster and Elizabeth Taylor should trigger fond memories of the silver screen.

Hollywood Unseen is a tribute to the incredible inventiveness and ingenuity of the great Hollywood film studios: Columbia, Paramount, MGM, Universal, Warner Brothers, RKO and Twentieth Century Fox. From the late 1920's to the early 1950's these studios presided over the 'Golden Age of Cinema', and their publicity departments created some of the most stunning and iconic images of Hollywood's stars ever taken. This volume exposes, for the first time, photographs showing the 'ordinary lives' of the stars, including Rita Hayworth, Gary Cooper, Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe. In reality, these photographs were as carefully constructed and prepared as any classic portrait or scene, and they depicted the actors and actresses exactly as the studios wanted them to be seen. The publicity departments cleverly formed an idealised view of the husbands, wives, children, pets, parties, premieres and hobbies of the stars. Ironically, many of the images were only used once or twice, and were then never seen again. Drawn from the extensive archive of the John Kobal Foundation, this book showcases an extraordinary collection of these hidden photographic gems. John Kobal was an authority on Hollywood portrait photography, who established a preeminent collection of works featuring iconic stars of the day. The Getty Image Library in London will be hosting an exhibition of these images to coincide with the publication of this book. AUTHOR: Robert Dance is co-author of Ruth Harriet Louise and Hollywood Photography (2002, California) and Garbo: Portraits from her Private Collection (2005,Rizzoli).
