Have you ever wondered what Charles Bronson's acting gigs were prior to his breakout success in Death Wish? Or what Jack Palance was up to in between his mega-hits Shane and City Slickers? How about Kirk Douglas' post-Spartacus career? The answers to these - and much more - can be found in Hollywood on the Tiber Vol. 1: An American in Rome - 250 U.S. Actors in Italian Cinema, 1950-1990, an A-Z reference book featuring a selection of biographies and filmographies of 250 U.S. born actors who appeared in three or more Italian-funded (or partially Italian-funded) films. From the prosperous 1950s when Cinecitta was the MGM of Rome, to the television-dominated lean years of the 1980s, this book focuses on those American actors who flooded the Eternal City during those four decades on the hunt for movie work. A broad span of actors has been covered, from internationally recognized superstars such as Christopher Lee and Jane Fonda, to cult favorites (Joe Dallesandro, Fred Williamson), to the more obscure (Eugene Walter, Sue Ellen Blake). The biographies include information on specifically why the actor appeared in Italian-funded movies (such as blacklisting from Hollywood, financial or health reasons, change of scenery, etc), as well as some discussion of the films they were in.
Hollywood on the Tiber Vol. 1: An American in Rome - 250 U.S. Actors in Italian Cinema, 1950-1990 is the first of its kind to compile all of these profiles into one book, one which tells the stories of the performers, their domestic careers and a specific regard to their Italian dalliances. It is a collection of historical nuggets which can either be read from cover to cover or dipped into on impulse.
