Synopsis
Raw food? That's so last century! Pilates? They've been doing it forever! And if you thought our obsession with super-trim celebrities was a recent phenomenon then think again. Since the reducing craze of the jazz age, women have been looking for the trendy way to slim down and tone up. And since the birth of Hollywood, the big screen has shown us beautiful figures to aspire to. Never more so than during the gilded era of the 1920s-1950s, when Hollywood set the beauty standards for much of the Western World. Ever wondered how Audrey Hepburn kept her elfin figure or the secret behind Ava Gardner's knock-out curves? Hollywood Diet and Fitness turns back the clock to a time when movie stars ruled the world, revealing exactly what went into building the most beautiful bodies on the silver screen. From Clara Bow's crash diets to Marilyn Monroe's Yoga workout, Hollywood Diet and Fitness is packed with vintage tips - and warnings - from Hollywood's golden age of glamour. Featuring beautiful photographs and vintage imagery, this book is an entertaining, accessible look at our timeless pursuit of the body beautiful. Illustrated with lavish archive photos and stunning vintage imagery, Hollywood Diet and Fitness provides an intriguing insight into the secret life of Tinseltown that no modern girl should be without.

About the Author
Laura Slater is a classic movie enthusiast living and working in London. Her interest in diet and fitness dates to her time at university, where most of her friends seemed to be on a permanent diet. While her day job as an editor of legal and business books continues to broaden her horizons, in the evening she still likes to come home, pour a glass of wine and watch Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina for the umpteenth time. She is also the author of Vintage Secrets: Hollywood Beauty.
