Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Photographs and drawings (illustrator). 1st Edition. Robert Panrish directed his first film. Cry Danger, in 1950. His credits include The Purple Plain, Fire Down Below, The Wonderful Country and Casino Royale. Earlier, as a film editor, he worked with such directors as John Ford, Max Ophuls, George Cukor, Lewis Milestone and Robert Rossen. In 1947 he was awarded an Oscar as Best Film Editor for his work on Body and Soul. Growing Up in Hollywood is a gorgeously lighthearted reminiscence of those wonderful and now oh-so-distant years when the cinema was growing up, those golden years that stretched from the silent films to the advent of cinemascope. Robert Parrish grew up in Hollywood, and like a kid in any factory town, he went to work in the local industry: movies. Perhaps you saw him in Our Gang comedies. Or puffing his peashooter at Charlie Chaplin in City Lights. His credit in such early John Ford films as Mother Machree. The Whole Town's Talking and The Informer was simply: Robert Parrish : Child. Here is a glimpse of Charlie Chaplin (a kind of dervish, playing all the parts); of the time Parrish and a pal were bodyguards to Mae West: of his debut as an ice skater with Sonja Henie. Parrish even recalls the James Cagney Special on the Commissary menu: "Shrimp Cocktail. Large Bowl of Chili and Beans with Onions, Pistachio Ice Cream Coffee, Tea or Milkâ "45 cents.â Above all else, here is a unique and loving portrait of the great John Ford with whom Parrish first worked as a child actor, then as sound editor, later as film editor, and who acted as an irascible mentor, even at Parrish's own wedding. A superb raconteur in the tradition of Will Rogers, it is his gentle homespun humor shining through the memoirs of an extraordinary era of American life that makes this the most endearing and nostalgic of Hollywood memoirs. ROBERT PARRISH was born in Georgia and raised in California where he led the movie life described in this book. Parrish studied cinematography at the University of Southern California; then worked as film editor and director. Robert Parrish is married and now lives in London.
