Book description: New York: Carol Publishing Group,. 1992. Hard Cover. 1559721405 . 302 pages. 8 plates, cloth, dj, very good. From the dj, 'Hollywood East tells the story of how the movies evolved as a business - a business controlled from the Eastern seaboard. As Diana Altman notes, 'Hollywood was a pretty face but New York was the heart and lungs.' How did the business of movies grow? Who were themen who made it grow? Where did all the innovations - technical and business - come from? What innovative twists did mobsters Al Capone and Willie Bioff add? ..It's all here: how the stars emerged, how the public relations mills did their jobs. And the book explains how the moguls always put aside their rivalries when they were threatened by adverse publicity. Many of the photographs in the book are from the one-of-a-kind collection of the author's father.' .
