Old Hollywood Book Reviews: Shock Value
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Apr 26, 2012
I’ve been off the blogging scene for two days and that’s all due to my damn need for higher education. I’m in the home stretch, only three weeks left of school and I’ll be free to watch whatever I want, whenever I want, and blog about it freely. Until then…you’r read more

the time Samuel Langhorne Clemens died in 1910, the world was already
witnessing the rise of film as a major medium. The first permanent movie

had also debuted in 1902, and the read more

Two more from Hollywood Paper
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Apr 13, 2012
In recent days, we've been running quite a few vintage Carole Lombard photos from the eBay seller "hollywoodpaper." These portraits are normally above $100 to either buy or bid for, though their value is deserved for both their rarity and (usually) their quality. We have a pair of additional example read more

Old Hollywood Book Reviews: The Murder of Bob Crane
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Apr 4, 2012
Another installment of Old Hollywood Book Reviews (I’m taking suggestions on if this title actually works or if there’s a better one out there). Today’s book isn’t about a classic film star per se, but a crime that is always thrown out when someone mentions Old Hollywood. I read more
Renovating, planned right: Paramount's Hollywood Project
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Apr 4, 2012
In "To Be Or Not To Be," Carole Lombard, Jack Benny and the Warsaw cast of "Hamlet" seek refuge from enemy bombs in the theater basement after the Nazis invade Poland in September 1939, igniting World War II. Now, the studio where that Ernst Lubitsch masterpiece was filmed has been attacked from wit read more
Keaton – Cops – and the First Baptist Church of Hollywood
Pretty Clever Films Posted by Pretty Clever Film Gal on Apr 2, 2012
It’s always a fun day when I notice a new post at John Bengtson’s completely awesome Silent Locations. And after seeing Buster and Fatty in the high-larious “Backstage” last night at the 1000 Laffs: Playmates screening at Toronto Silent Film Festival, reading about this Keat read more
Screen Book, October 1938: Hiding out from Hollywood?
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 30, 2012
To commemorate the 73rd anniversary of Carole Lombard's marriage to Clark Gable this week, the fine site DearMrGable.com reprinted a story that ran in the October 1938 issue of Screen Book, whose cover that month just so happened to feature Gable along with Myrna Loy from their latest film, "Too Hot read more
Hollywood Rides a Bike
Sittin' on a Backyard Fence Posted by Jill Blake on Mar 27, 2012
If you’re anything like me, you love photos of classic movie stars engaging in very normal, unglamorous activities. Although many were staged for studio publicity, it’s nice to pretend these are candid images from the private family album. Cary and Randolph washing dishes, Bogie and Baca read more
Old Hollywood Book Reviews: The Lives and Loves of Daisy and Violet Hilton
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Mar 26, 2012
I read a lot of Hollywood biographies and non-fiction stories and figured the blog might be a great forum for me to review said books. I was inspired by Rianna, creator and writer over at the excellent film blog Frankly, My Dear who did a book review on Carole Lombard. For Christmas I got the book, read more
Cinema Connection--Old Hollywood and Art Deco Style Stand Out at 2012 Oscars
GlamAmor Posted by on Feb 27, 2012
Is this 2012...or the 1930s? It's certainly hard to tell just by looking at the cast of The Artist (above) as they accepted their well-deserved Academy Award for Best Picture. It was a great moment and you can see how they embody the modern version of Art Deco style that their movie has ins read more

GlamAmor Posted by on Feb 26, 2012
Today is the 84th Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles! It is a day when the entire world turns its eyes to the place that I've called home for nearly 20 years. I could think of no better way to celebrate the day than to share the 1939 Oscar ceremony with you. Why 1939? As cl read more

Hollywood photography...New York style
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Feb 24, 2012
Not all of what we call "classic Hollywood" was made in Hollywood; heck, a good deal of it didn't come from southern California. Paramount had a flourishing New York presence for much of the '20s and a little into the '30s until tottering studio finances forced it to sell its complex in Astoria, Que read more
Just Shy of Respect: The Hollywood Life and Death of Alan Ladd
Where Danger Lives Posted by Mark on Feb 16, 2012
Most people believe Alan Ladd
committed suicide, but the details surrounding his death are so convoluted no
one can be sure what really happened. History is often guilty of erring on the
side of sensationalism — but in Ladd’s case suicide is the logical
assumption. In 1962 he was fo read more
