I had to skip over the chapter about suicides but really enjoyed the chapter about Reagan. It's hard to tell what's bogus here and what's not, like, there's absolutely no way "Rosebud" refers to Marion Davies' clit, but that bit about Bill Tilden making a cameo in "Lolita" is incredible. The photos & editing in this are perfect. ( ) The original "Hollywood Babylon" is one of my favorite books of all time, although I read it before I realised that the author Kenneth Anger made chunks of it up. So, the follow-up had much to live up to, and was always doomed to sit in the sizeable shadow of what had come before it. Taking every "fact" and "expose" with a grain of salt, "Hollywood Babylon II" digs further into Hollywood's seamy past, as well as mentioning a few then-current scandals, including the making of "Blues Brothers" and Louise Lasser's drug problem. Anger discusses how in every group of thirteen there is always a Judas (so the two women who spoke to the media about the orgies at Chez Lionel Atwell's were from a cast of 26 participants), the portrayal of gay men in Hollywood films (not well, you will not be surprised to hear), some incest and Hattie McDaniel's supposed affair with Tallulah Bankhead, which, true or not, needs a movie right now. I'm still hopeful for a third edition by Mr Anger but that sadly may not come to fruition. In the meanwhile, go back and read "Hollywood Babylon I" again and then this one. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Hollywood Babylon became an underground legend and bestseller throughout the world, when it was first published. Here at last is the all-new sequel from the man who turned filmland gossip into an art form. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
