Product Description:
"The carefully crafted and timeless characters personified by the likes of Clark Gable, Julie Andrews, and Audrey Hepburn in classic Hollywood films came as the result of meticulous hairstyling, makeup artistry, and lavish costume design. Once fully styled, stars posed for camera-ready continuity shots, which now, decades later, provide a striking record of the evolution of Hollywood fashion from the 1930s to the early 1970s. Styling the Stars takes fans of film, fashion, and photography inside the Twentieth Century Fox archive to deliver an intimate look at the stars of Hollywood s golden era and beyond. Here you ll find images of Shirley Temple as she runs a brush through her trademark curls, Marilyn Monroe as she s fitted for an elegant evening gown, Cary Grant as he suits up for a swim, and Paul Newman donning a six-shooter, among hundreds of rare, never-before-published photographs. The result is a stunning collector s volume of film and fashion photography, as well as an invaluable compendium of movie history."
