| Publisher Description: Before the film industry arrived, Hollywood was filled with quaint bungalows, and churches dedicated to teetotalism. Movies shattered Hollywood's tranquillity, and brought wealth and glamorous movie stars. This book goes beyond the star-studded surface to the days of union busting, gangsters, and scandal, foreshadowing Hollywood's seedy decline. |
