Hollywood Heyday: 75 Movie Legends Discuss Their Golden Age Careers
![loading image](/content/img/loading.gif)
Summary
"What audacity!" exclaimed Robert Wagner when he heard about the authors' adolescent exploits in nabbing interviews with celebrities of Hollywood's Golden Age.
In 1978, David Fantle and Tom Johnson, St. Paul teenagers fresh out of high school, boarded a plane to meet with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. On a lark, they had written the two stars requesting interviews--to their amazement, both had agreed.
Over the years, more than 250 other stars also agreed--Lucille Ball, Bob Hope, James Cagney, Mickey Rooney, Debbie Reynolds, George Burns, Rod Steiger, Milton Berle, Frank Capra and Hoagy Carmichael, to name a few. Published for the first time and with exclusive photos, this selection of 75 interviews chronicles the authors' 40-year quest for wisdom, insights and anecdotes from iconic artists who defined 20th century American popular culture.
