  This portrait of the Hollywood film industry in the 1950s concentrates on five major stars of the time - Elizabeth Taylor, Natalie Wood, Montgomery Clift, Rock Hudson and James Dean and draws on extensive interviews and unpublished material. This book examines the new generation of stars created in the 1950s, whose private lives encapsulated the entire world of Hollywood - the glamour and the delusion, the hype and the scandal, the adulation and the rejection, the sensational successes and the ultimate tragedies. John Parker's last book was the bestselling King of Fools about Edward VII.
