Frank Sinatra at a recording session, Marilyn Monroe giggling with Betty Grable, Clark Gable making an entrance at a premiere: showbiz photographer Murray Garrett had a knack for catching movie idols in unguarded moments. In this beautiful black-and-white album, an eagerly awaited follow-up to his highly successful Hollywood Candid, Garrett showcases 145 surprisingly intimate, sometimes irreverent images from Hollywood¹s heyday, including never-before-seen shots of celebrities such as Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Ava Gardner, Gregory Pecképlus, of course, Bogey and Bacall.
A true insider, Garrett has been a fly on the wall at many a private party, and he¹s not above a little exclusive insight. The personal reminiscences that enliven these photos offer armchair stargazers unique insight into the private lives, loves, and off-screen looks of Hollywood¹s leading men and women.
