The Real Stars: Profiles and Interviews of Hollywood’s Unsung Featured Players (The Leonard Maltin Collection)

THE REAL STARS edited by Leonard Maltin

Everyone knows Humphrey Bogart and Jean Harlowâ€¦but the stars of Hollywoodâ€™s greatest era might not have shone as brightly if they werenâ€™t backed up by talented character actors and supporting players. This collection of profiles and interviews turns the spotlight on those unsung heroes, whose faces were often better known than their names. Maltinâ€™s engaging conversations with such notables as Billy Gilbert, Gale Sondergaard, Hans Conried and Una Merkel evoke a bygone era as we see what life was like for these versatile players. Looking for anecdotes about W.C. Fields or Clark Gable? This book is for you. Youâ€™ll also learn about Bess Flowers, â€œthe queen of the dress extrasâ€ and Rex Ingram, the black actor whose imposing presence eclipsed the stereotyping of the period. This well-illustrated e-book edition features a brand-new introduction by Leonard Maltin.
