Title: The Stars
Subtitle: The Personalities Who Made The Movies
First published: 1962
Description: *The Stars* (which was designed by the noted graphic artist Allen Hurlburt) is a nearly perfect book. Schickel’s precise take on all the stars he does feature (there are some strange omissions) are wondrous little gems. His judgments are sound; he very rarely makes a wrong statement about why a particular star had lasting appeal, or why others came and went quickly. Even when he makes a grand statement he is spot on.
Subjects: Motion picture actors and actresses
