LIGHTS! CAMERA! CELEBRATE!
Hollywood Birthdays, Bashes And Blowouts

by David Marsh

For all Hollywood lovers looking for a special way to say Happy Birthday, here comes LIGHTS! CAMERA! CELEBRATE! Hollywood Birthdays, Bashes and Blowouts, a delightful gallery of more than 56 fascinating vintage photographs depicting celebrations on Hollywood sets from 1918 on.

Stars get their cake and eat it too. Douglass Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin ate it on the set of How Could You, Jean? So did James Dean, Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor while taking a break from Giant. Every major star, including Cary Grant, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Claudette Colbert, Marlene Dietrich, Merle Oberon, David Niven, Ginger Rogers, Bing Crosby, Ingrid Bergman, Olivia de Havilland, Doris Day and Elvis Presley, took time between takes to cut into the obligatory birthday cake.

This hardbound high-design gift book is a must for anyone who loves Hollywood and its photographs. And it's the perfect impulse buy for the stumped gift-giver with a long list of birthdays to remember.
