New York Times bestselling author and daughter of Judy Garland tells the story of A Star Is Born -- at once the crowning achievement and greatest disappointment in her mother's legendary career. This is a vivid account of a film classic's production, loss, and reclamation. A Star Is Born -- the classic Hollywood tale about a young talent rising to superstardom, and the downfall of her mentor/lover along the way -- has never gone out of style. It has seen five film adaptations, but none compares to the 1954 version starring Judy Garland in her greatest role. But while it was the crowning performance of the legendary entertainer's career, the production turned into one of the most talked about in movie history. The story, which depicts the dark side of fame, addiction, loss, and suicide, paralleled Garland's own tumultuous life in many ways. While hitting alarmingly close to home for the fragile star, it ultimately led to a superlative performance -- one that was nominated for an Academy Award, but lost in one of the biggest upsets in Oscar history. Running far too long for the studio's tastes, Warner Bros. notoriously slashed extensive amounts of footage from the finished print, leaving A Star is Born in tatters and breaking the heart of both the film's star and director George Cukor. Today, with a director's cut reconstructed from previously lost scenes and audio, the 1954 A Star is Born has taken its deserved place among the most critically acclaimed movies of all time, and continues to inspire each new generation that discovers it. Now, Lorna Luft, daughter of Judy Garland and the film's producer, Sid Luft, tells the story of the production, and of her mother's fight to save her career, as only she could. Teaming with film historian Jeffrey Vance, A Star Is Born is a vivid and refreshingly candid account of the crafting, loss, and restoration of a movie classic, complemented by a trove of images from the family collection taken both on and off the set. The book also includes essays on the other screen adaptations of A Star Is Born, to round out a complete history of a story that has remained a Hollywood favorite for close to a century.

Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Catherine Deneuve... Feted, adored and desired, successful movie actresses are icons of modern culture. But what was it that made them true stars? Was it looks, talent, drive, personality – or just plain luck? What was the first captivating image or unforgettable line that etched them indelibly on our collective memory – and transformed the screen actress of the passing movie credit into the screen goddess of eternal legend? In a sequence of elegant pen-portraits, George Tiffin takes a microscope to the movies and the moments that established 75 female icons of cinema. These penportraits are supplemented by quotes, notes and anecdotes, including script excerpts from key scenes. From Oscar-winners to ingénues, and from grande dames to femmes fatales, A STAR IS BORN is a seductive celebration of the eternal feminine at the heart of the movie business – and an informal and engaging history of cinema itself.

Hi. I'm Libby Gelman-Waxner, and I'm an assistant buyer in juniors' activewear. While I find my work both rewarding and creative, especially with the new knits coming in, I want more. And so I decided to become a film critic.... Move over, Siskel & Ebert. Watch out, Leonard Maltin. And just forget saving that aisle seat, Mr. Medved. Libby Gelman-Waxner has arrived -- in the critic's circle, that is -- and the silver screen may never be the same again. Witty, wicked, and scathingly honest -- If You Ask Me is a hilarious collection of her columns from Premiere magazine. Just listen to Libby on some recent films and film stars: Prince of Tides -- "Barbra's only spontaneous moment in Prince of Tides comes when Nick tosses her a football and she screams 'My nails!'" Diane Keaton -- "She's a pioneer; she takes that thing that hangs in the back of your closet, the thing that was too marked down to pass up, Diane takes that thing and she doesn't call Goodwill, she wraps it around her head a few times, pins on a Smurf brooch, and wins an Oscar...." The Last of the Mohicans -- "Daniel Day-Lewis makes American actors look like giggly junior high school boys playing Nintendo during the prom; at one point, Madeleine asks Daniel what he is looking at, and he says, I'm looking at you, Miss, and let me tell you, the usher had to conk me with his flashlight to make me stop whimpering...." Daryl Hannah -- "All men in America, my Josh included, they all want a date with Daryl Hannah. A girl like Daryl -- we're not talking about a Ph.D. in comparative literature; I think we're talking about hair in the eyes and not much in the way of lingerie...."

Descripción LADIES AND GENTLEMEN A STAR IS BORN* I was born on September 3, in bed 3, in office 3, in the year of the dragon. They say that he was predestined to do something great in this world, just because he was born in these 3 prodigious mathematical numbers: The sea, the sky and the earth, the three sides of a triangle, The Trinity: The Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. Anyway, I only know that I was born because my older brother Ivan wanted a little brother and he asked my mom. I have a birthmark on my left leg, a set of polka dots that resemble a dragon, I don't know what they mean and I think I will never know ... Francisco Di Emmanuel

This comprehensive, deftly written book examines the visual and thematic connections between the four most famous American films to deal with the movie industry and the making of a star. Beginning with 1932’s What Price Hollywood? and moving through the 1937, 1954 and 1976 versions of A Star Is Born, author James Stratton considers the style, structure, performers, production team and historical context that distinguish each film. Close analysis appraises the contributions of David Selznick, George Cukor, William Wellman, Constance Bennett, Janet Gaynor, Judy Garland, James Mason, Barbra Streisand, Kris Kristofferson and various other film artists and technicians. A wide-ranging introductory chapter places the four films within the context of other self-referential movies where Hollywood looks at itself. A film scholar, educator and writer, James Stratton has lived for many years in and around Los Angeles. This new book follows the best-selling success of Hitchcock’s North by Northwest: The Man Who Had Too Much.

And Star is born …And Star is born is the true story, struggle and journey to stardom of celluloid actors. The book, in words of the author Dinesh Verma, is dedicated to those who failed many a times, but never lost heart till they got success because they knew the Rome was not built in a day. Some succeed because they are destined Some succeed because they are determined This book is book the latter. It features the stories of Indian celebrities who have achieved the apex in the face of great disappointment and failure. They were written off by the critics many a time but every time they have came back with a bang. The way to success is not an overnight journey. Failures are inevitable and rejections are obvious. It is about hitting the iron again and again until it breaks, keeping the spirit indomitable unless you explore the invincible. This book brings to the readers stories of all those who have made it big in the Bollywood. It includes the struggle story of those who got cinema in inheritance and saga of outsiders for who the road was impregnable. Read it on to know how Amir Khan evolved as the perfectionist Khan, how tough it was for Raj Kapoor to set up the plinth of what is known today as the ‘first family of Bollywood’. It covers the journey of the angry young man Amitabh Bachchan, the rejections he encountered, near fatal accident he met, corruption allegations he battled and how he earned it all back on the eve of being pronounced bankrupt. Stars of Bollywood exemplify determination and dedication and are living legends. Each of them has worked extremely hard to make it where they are today. We bring to you their inspiring journey to motivate you to hit the milestone in your life. It mentions the days of penury spent by A.R. Rahman, the struggle taken up by Asha Bhosle with a child in her womb, Jackie Shroff’s days in a chawl in Teen Batti and so on. The book is a valued possession, a memoir of your loved stars and can definitely be a great gift of wisdom for your loved ones.

It's electric, triumphant to read." —Vogue.com "An OMG page-turner." —Gabrielle Union Solène Marchand, the thirty-nine-year-old owner of an art gallery in Los Angeles, is reluctant to take her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band. But since her divorce, she’s more eager than ever to be close to Isabelle. The last thing Solène expects is to make a connection with one of the members of the world-famous August Moon.
