Description
The dark side of Hollywood's golden age. Between the 1920s and 1950s, films transformed from curiosity cabinets at fairs into a global spectacle. Those who shone brightly on the silver screen soon became dominant figures in the collective imagination of the 20th century. However, behind the glamour and success, a darker world existed, filled with sinister and decadent shadows: ghostly apparitions, curses, mysterious deaths, unsolved crimes, addictions, and occult practices. Heinous fates awaited both established stars and aspiring ones alike. The line between luxury and tragedy was often blurred, as the excesses of Hollywood's elite gave way to a culture of decay. This book delves into the mysterious events, shocking occurrences, and sometimes brutal consequences that took place within this world of glamour and decadence. Patricia Prida's exploration of the darker side of Hollywood's golden age is a fascinating and unsettling read.
