A Must Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I never understood the relationship between the theater companies on the east coast and the production companies on the west coast until Altman's book. Filled with first-hand anecdotes passed down from her father, an MGM talent scout who discovered Joan Crawford, Jimmy Stewart, Ava Gardner, and many others. Excellent addition to film history.
