SEVERAL PEOPLE WNSED THEM TOGETHER AT THE STUD, AND ALSO AT A PARTY AT THE BEVERLY WILSHIRE HOTEL WHERE THEY ENGAGED A VARIETY OF SEXUAL ACTS. IT WAS ALL PART OF GABLE’S RELENTLS TERMATN TO MAKE AS A FAMO MOVIE STAR. EVEN HIS FUTURE LOVER JOAN CRAWFORD READILY ADMTED THAT HE AND HA HAD SEX. CLARK TOLD HER SO YEARS LATER, BUT SHE WAS ALSO A CLOSE IEND OF HA AS WELL, SO SHE ALREADY KNEW. EVERYONE DID. IT WAS SIMPLY A MEANS TO AN END, NOTHG MORE. HE WAS CERTALY NOT HOMOSEXUAL. NOR WAS HE BISEXUAL. ON THE NTRARY, FACT. HE ADORED WOMEN OF ANY AGE OR TYPE.WILLIAM HAIN 1926 HE BEGAN AN AFFAIR WH ANOTHER WOMAN WHO WAS 20 YEARS HIS SENR. HER NAME WAS PLE FRERICK AND SHE WAS AN ATTRACTIVE NYMPHOMANIAC. SHE WAS ALSO RICH. THROUGH HER HE GOT JOBS, BUT SHE ALSO BOUGHT HIM A R AND PAID TO GET HIS TEETH FIXED.

IN FACT, CUCKOLD DOUG WAS STILL PAYG THE THG OFF. THE PAPERS WERE STARTG TO POST ‘BLD EMS’ ABOUT THE ROMANCE AS WELL, SO MAYER ORRED DOUG AND JOAN TO TAKE AN ‘EXTEND EUROPEAN VATN’, A SEND HONEYMOON, SO TO SPEAK.HIS LTLE DALLIANCE WH HA ASI, GABLE WAS AN UNABASHED WOMANIZER WHO WOULD SLEEP WH ANY WOMAN IF THE OPPORTUNY AROSE.

THEN, THE STUD GOT AN UN-NAMED MID-LEVEL EMPLOYEE TO TAKE THE RAP FOR THEIR SUPERSTAR. OFFERED A JOB FOR LIFE WH MGM, PL A SH SETTLEMENT, THE MAN SAID HE WAS DRIVG THE VEHICLE AND PPED 10 MONTHS AT AN HONOR FARM. HIS NAME HAS SCE BEEN QUIETLY EXPUNGED OM THE RERD, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A SCHOOL OF THOUGHT THAT BELIEVE HE WAS A ‘NOBODY’ PART-TIME DIRECTOR AT THE TIME – NAMED JOHN HTON.1934 SAW YET ANOTHER GABLE ‘ISSUE’, WHEN HE PUT GEO LORETTA YOUNG THE FAY WAY DURG THE TIME THEY MA THE CALL OF THE WILD. UNTIL HIS DYG DAY HE REFED TO ACKNOWLEDGE HER LTLE GIRL AS HIS OWN. NEHER DID LORETTA FOR THAT MATTER. SHE PRETEND THE GIRL WAS ADOPTED OUT OF THE GOODNS OF HER HEART.

SHE TREATED HIM LIKE A BIG SISTER, NFIDG HIM REGULARLY. ON ONE OCSN SHE STRIPPED PLETELY NAKED ONT OF HIM HER TRAILER, SAYG, ‘I WOULDN’T DO THIS IF I THOUGHT YOU’D GET AROED, BILLY’.

JANUARY 14, 2020 AT 8:42 AM THIS RMATN ABOUT GABLE IS A LOT OF SPECULATN, MY OPN. THE SOURCE FOR THE HA STORY? IT’S TREATED AS FACT BUT THERE IS NONE EXCEPT REVISNIST BGRAPHI OR FICTN PRETENDG TO BE FACT WRTEN BY THORS LIKE DARW PORTER OR STTY BOWERS. AND, I HAVE TO SAY, LABELG WOMEN AS “NYMPHOMANIACS” IS OUTRAGEO AND SEXIST. WHAT DID MR. GABLE EVER DO TO YOU TO SERVE SUCH A MEAN SPIRED BGRAPHIL SAY?REPLY ALAN ROYLE JANUARY 14, 2020 AT 1:10 PM THANKYOU FOR YOUR NOTE. IF YOU WISH TO ACCEPT THE STUD’S AND BGRAPHERS’ PORTRAYAL OF MOVIE STARS, YOU ARE EE TO DO SO, OF URSE. I PREFER TO REACH MY NCLNS AFTER PESAL OF ASSSMENTS OM ALL SOURC, SOME OF WHICH I REJECT OUT OF HAND, OTHERS I ACCEPT WHOLE OR PART. MY ASSSMENTS ARE NEHER ‘MEAN-SPIRED’ NOR FAWNG. AS FOR LABELLG SOME WOMEN AS ‘NYMPHOMANIACS’, MADAM, THE FACT IS THAT SOME ARE! THAT IS NO MORE ‘OUTRAGEO’ THAN SCRIBG PRINT TMP AS AN ‘EGOMANIAC’. IF THE P FS WEAR . PLEASE, DO NOT SPOUT POLIL RRECTNS AT ME! THE TERM IS GREATLY OVER-RATED.REPLY PL MAY 9, 2021 AT 12:59 PM IF YOU EVER DID REARCH YOU WOULD FD OUT THAT ’S ALL TEREPLY S. ALLEN SEPTEMBER 7, 2015 AT 11:32 AM ON GOOGLE: BALL INSULTS GABLE ABOUT NECKTIE. YOU’LL FD TWO ENTRI RIGHT AWAY, WHERE HE MENTNS HOW SULT ME ABOUT.REPLY S. ALLEN SEPTEMBER 7, 2015 AT 5:11 AM MY SOURCE FOR BALL AND GABLE’S IAL MEETG IS HER BOOK. SHE SCRIB SLIM H., “SELLG” HER ON GABLE, WHO RETURNED OM SERVICE. THE ANECDOTE ABOUT THE TIE MAY HAVE OCCURRED AT SAME TIME. CAN’T BE CERTA IF I READ ABOUT HER BOOK[WHICH I BORROWED AND RETURNED], OR SOMEWHERE ELSE.REPLY S. ALLEN SEPTEMBER 6, 2015 AT 12:55 PM I THK I FALLY GOT YOUR MENT ABOUT SYPHANTS, PECIALLY AFTER WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT CAROLE LOMBARD. MAYBE GABLE FIGURED THAT BALL WAS A “NO GO”, KNEW ABOUT BOGIE, OR JT WASN’T TERTED.REPLY ALAN ROYLE SEPTEMBER 7, 2015 AT 2:54 AM I MT HAVE EXPRSED MYSELF UNCLEARLY. MANY FAMO PEOPLE, PECIALLY THE ENTERTAMENT FIELD, ARE SURROUND BY ‘Y MEN’ WHO AGREE WH EVERYTHG THEY SAY. THAT IS WHAT I MEANT BY ‘SYPHANTS’. CONSEQUENTLY, THEY ARE OFTEN ATTRACTED TO MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE ENTIRELY OPEN WH THEM, EVEN CRIL OF THEM. I BELIEVE GABLE FELT THAT WAY ABOUT LOMBARD. AS FAR AS I KNOW GABLE AND BALL HAD NO RELATNSHIP WHATSOEVER. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF THEY EVER EVEN MET. QUE POSSIBLY THEY DID NOT. I RELL READG THAT HENRY FONDA HAD NEVER MET KATHARE HEPBURN UNTIL THEY MA ‘ON GOLN POND’ TOGETHER, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD BOTH BEEN INS HOLLYWOOD FOR 50 YEARS OR SO.REPLY S. ALLEN SEPTEMBER 6, 2015 AT 12:17 PM HMMM. NOT SURE I UNRSTAND MENT ABOUT SYPHANTS. DO APPLY TO ANECDOT ABOUT BALL AND GABLE?REPLY S. ALLEN SEPTEMBER 6, 2015 AT 5:58 AM TWO ANECDOT HAVG NOTHG TO DO W/ WHAT YOU’VE POSTED, BUT TERTG.IN EFFORT TO “CURE” BALL OF BOGART, SLIM HAWKS ARRANGED SOCIAL EVENT BETWEEN GABLE AND BALL, AT HAWKS HOME, WHICH MAY HAVE CLUD OTHERS. BETTY WAS NOT TERTED; GABLE TOOK HER HOME, KISSED HER GOODNIGHT, PERD. THIS NEXT VOLV GATHERG AT HAWKS HOME. BALL EXPRSED NCERN W/ HOW SHE WOULD GET HOME. HAWKS TOLD HER TO ASK A MAN TO TAKE HER, BUT SHE DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT; WAS TOLD,’TRY SULTG HIM.’ WHEN SHE SAW HAWKS, SHE SAID, ‘IT WORKED’, AND SHE SAID SHE ASKED MAN WHERE HE GOT HIS TIE. WHEN ASKED,’WHY DO YOU ASK?’ SHE REPLIED, ‘SO I N TELL PEOPLE NOT TO GO TO THAT STORE.’ THE MAN WAS CLARK GABLE! [IT’S POSSIBLE BOTH CINTS OCCURRED AT SAME TIME.][NOTE, UNLS I’M SURE OF EXACT QUOT, I E SGLE QUOTATN MARK ONLY.]TWOREPLY ALAN ROYLE SEPTEMBER 6, 2015 AT 10:56 AM INTERTG. PEOPLE POSNS OF POWER OR FAME GET FED UP WH SYPHANTS (OR SO I HAVE READ), SO THEY ARE OFTEN IMPRSED BY SOMEONE WHO CHOOS TO NOT FAWN OVER THEM. THE OLD SAYG, ‘NOBODY LIK A KISS-ASS’ IS A TE ONE. I THK LOMBARD ED A SIAR APPROACH. SHE OFTEN RIDICULED HIS ‘GREAT LOVER’ IMAGE PUBLIC, YET HE ADORED HER.REPLY S.

HA IS ONE OF THE NOW-FOTTEN STARS OF THE SILENT SCREEN: HANDSOME, WTY AND GOOD-NATURED, BETWEEN 1926 AND 1931 HE WAS ONE OF THE BIGGT BOX-OFFICE DRAWS HOLLYWOOD, TOP ON MGM'S ROSTER OF STARS AND ADORED BY WOMEN FILM FANS EVERYWHERE. SPECIALIZG PLAYG THE ROLE OF THE "WISECRACKER," A JOKG, LIKABLE TRICKSTER HERO WHO STARTS OUT A B OF A LOUT BUT ALWAYS LEARN HIS LSON BY THE END OF THE FILM, HA MA HIS ON-SCREEN NAME AS A ROMANTIC HERO AND HIS OFF-SCREEN REPUTATN AS ONE OF THE MOST OUTGOG, CHARISMATIC AND POPULAR FIGUR HOLLYWOOD.HA WAS ALSO GAY, AND HE SET A TREND HOLLYWOOD BY LIVG OPENLY WH HIS LOVER, JIMMIE SHIELDS. WHEN THE POLIL WATERS CHANGED AROUND THE EARLY 1930S, HA REFED TO PLAY THE STUD "GAME"--TO REPUDIATE JIMMIE, TO ENTER TO A SHAM MARRIAGE AS SO MANY OTHER ACTORS DID, TO PRETEND TO BE WHAT HE WASN'T. AND IS THIS THAT PRECIPATED HIS EARLY EX OM THE MOVI, AROUND 1934. NOW THE BGRAPHER AND JOURNALIST WILLIAM J. MANN, FASCATED BY HA'S LORFUL RISE AND FALL THE FILM WORLD AND HIS UNIQUE REFAL TO VE TO THE STUD MANDS, HAS SHAPED AROUND HIS LIFE AN TRIGUG EXPLORATN OF FIFTY YEARS OF SHIFTG TSELTOWN MOR.MANN, TAKG AN AFFECTNATE BUT REFULLY CRIL VIEW OF THE HERO OF HIS BOOK, TRAC HA'S LIFE THROUGH S MULTIPLE METAMORPHOS. ONE OF THE BOOK'S CENTRAL REVELATNS IS THAT HOLLYWOOD THE 1920S WAS A PLACE WHERE WAS POSSIBLE TO BE OPENLY GAY. HOMOSEXUALY WAS SIMPLY ACCEPTED; GAY AND STRAIGHT PEOPLE MGLED SOCIALLY AS WELL AS PROFSNALLY, AND THERE WAS A LE DIVIDG THE ON-SCREEN PERSONA OF AN ACTOR OM HIS PRIVATE LIFE. BUT WH THE ADVENT OF SOUND AND THE NSERVATIVE REACTNISM OF THE 1930S WHICH ACPANIED THE START OF THE GREAT DEPRSN, A CRACKDOWN ENSUED ON BOTH THE NTENT OF THE FILMS AND THE PRIVATE LIV OF THEIR STARS.MANN SHOWS BOTH THE LONG-TERM EFFECT OF THE FORC UPON THE MOVI--THE FAMO HAYS MORALY , WHICH NSTRAED THE MOVI TO REPRENTG A RIGIDLY FED VALUE SYSTEM WHOSE IRON GRIP DID NOT BEG TO LOOSEN UNTIL THE 1960S AND '70S--AND THE VERY PERSONAL IMPACT UPON THE ACTORS HOLLYWOOD. THE STUDS CLARED THAT BEG GAY WAS NO LONGER OKAY HOLLYWOOD, THEREBY AVOIDG THE HARSH CRICISM OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND OTHER RELIG GROUPS, AND PROVIDG SP NTROL ON THE GOSSIP NEWSPAPERS THAT WERE RAPIDLY TAKG ON AN ALARMG PENNCE. ACTORS WHO WERE MORED TO BE HOMOSEXUAL WERE ORRED TO GET MARRIED AND GIVE THE PUBLIC WHAT WANTED: A PERSONA WHO F THE ON-SCREEN IMAGE OF AN ACCEPTABLY "MANLY" MAN OR "FEME" WOMAN. MOST ACTORS ACQUICED, TO ONE GREE OR ANOTHER. WHEN HA TOLD MGM STUD HEAD LOUIS B. MAYER, A SCENE THAT HAS BEE LEGEND, THAT HE WAS ALREADY MARRIED--TO HIS LOVER, JIMMIE SHIELDS--HE FOUND HIMSELF "BOOTED OUT" OF THE MOVIE DTRY.HA'S LIFE BOTH THE MOVI AND AFTERWARD, AS "RATOR TO THE STARS," PROVIS A KEYHOLE THROUGH WHICH WE N GET A VERY TIMATE GLIMPSE OF HOLLYWOOD LIFE, GAY AND STRAIGHT, AS ONCE EXISTED BEHD THE VEIL OF SECRECY. HA KNEW EVERYONE (AND SEEMS TO HAVE HAD AFFAIRS WH MANY OF THEM). THROUGH HIS EY, AS RENSTCTED BY MANN, WE SEE THE CREASGLY HIDN WORLD OF EARLY GAY HOLLYWOOD: THE ACTORS--CARY GRANT AND RANDOLPH STT, CLTTE COLBERT AND MARLENE DIETRICH, GRETA GARBO AND RAMON NOVARRO--AND THE PEOPLE BEHD THE SCEN, SUCH AS DIRECTOR GEE COR AND JET-SETTG POSER COLE PORTER, THE TWO FOL POTS OF GAY MALE HOLLYWOOD SOCIETY THE 1930S AND 40S.THE WILLIAM HA STORY IS ALSO A LOVE STORY, ALTHOUGH S POIGNANCY DO NOT BEE FULLY APPARENT UNTIL VERY LATE HIS BGRAPHY. BOTH HA AND JIMMIE SHIELDS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN REMARKABLY PRIVATE MEN; SPE THE HUNDREDS OF HA QUOTATNS AND REMISCENC BY IENDS THAT MANN HAS DRAWN ON, MOST OF HA' MENTS TO THE WORLD FEEL LIKE "WISECRACKS"--HIS TRAMARK BRAND OF FENSIVE HUMOR--AND 'S HARD TO GET A FEELG THAT WE UNRSTAND THIS MAN'S NER LIFE. EVEN LS RMATN REMAS ABOUT SHIELDS, AND WHAT REMISCENC HIS IENDS DO OFFER SOUND RATHER MORE BOORISH THAN ENARG.

MANY FAMO PEOPLE, PECIALLY THE ENTERTAMENT FIELD, ARE SURROUND BY ‘Y MEN’ WHO AGREE WH EVERYTHG THEY SAY. THAT IS WHAT I MEANT BY ‘SYPHANTS’. CONSEQUENTLY, THEY ARE OFTEN ATTRACTED TO MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE ENTIRELY OPEN WH THEM, EVEN CRIL OF THEM. I BELIEVE GABLE FELT THAT WAY ABOUT LOMBARD. AS FAR AS I KNOW GABLE AND BALL HAD NO RELATNSHIP WHATSOEVER. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF THEY EVER EVEN MET. QUE POSSIBLY THEY DID NOT.

HA IS ONE OF THE NOW-FOTTEN STARS OF THE SILENT SCREEN: HANDSOME, WTY AND GOOD-NATURED, BETWEEN 1926 AND 1931 HE WAS ONE OF THE BIGGT BOX-OFFICE DRAWS HOLLYWOOD, TOP ON MGM'S ROSTER OF STARS AND ADORED BY WOMEN FILM FANS EVERYWHERE. SPECIALIZG PLAYG THE ROLE OF THE "WISECRACKER," A JOKG, LIKABLE TRICKSTER HERO WHO STARTS OUT A B OF A LOUT BUT ALWAYS LEARN HIS LSON BY THE END OF THE FILM, HA MA HIS ON-SCREEN NAME AS A ROMANTIC HERO AND HIS OFF-SCREEN REPUTATN AS ONE OF THE MOST OUTGOG, CHARISMATIC AND POPULAR FIGUR HOLLYWOOD.HA WAS ALSO GAY, AND HE SET A TREND HOLLYWOOD BY LIVG OPENLY WH HIS LOVER, JIMMIE SHIELDS. WHEN THE POLIL WATERS CHANGED AROUND THE EARLY 1930S, HA REFED TO PLAY THE STUD "GAME"--TO REPUDIATE JIMMIE, TO ENTER TO A SHAM MARRIAGE AS SO MANY OTHER ACTORS DID, TO PRETEND TO BE WHAT HE WASN'T. AND IS THIS THAT PRECIPATED HIS EARLY EX OM THE MOVI, AROUND 1934. NOW THE BGRAPHER AND JOURNALIST WILLIAM J. MANN, FASCATED BY HA'S LORFUL RISE AND FALL THE FILM WORLD AND HIS UNIQUE REFAL TO VE TO THE STUD MANDS, HAS SHAPED AROUND HIS LIFE AN TRIGUG EXPLORATN OF FIFTY YEARS OF SHIFTG TSELTOWN MOR.MANN, TAKG AN AFFECTNATE BUT REFULLY CRIL VIEW OF THE HERO OF HIS BOOK, TRAC HA'S LIFE THROUGH S MULTIPLE METAMORPHOS. ONE OF THE BOOK'S CENTRAL REVELATNS IS THAT HOLLYWOOD THE 1920S WAS A PLACE WHERE WAS POSSIBLE TO BE OPENLY GAY. HOMOSEXUALY WAS SIMPLY ACCEPTED; GAY AND STRAIGHT PEOPLE MGLED SOCIALLY AS WELL AS PROFSNALLY, AND THERE WAS A LE DIVIDG THE ON-SCREEN PERSONA OF AN ACTOR OM HIS PRIVATE LIFE. BUT WH THE ADVENT OF SOUND AND THE NSERVATIVE REACTNISM OF THE 1930S WHICH ACPANIED THE START OF THE GREAT DEPRSN, A CRACKDOWN ENSUED ON BOTH THE NTENT OF THE FILMS AND THE PRIVATE LIV OF THEIR STARS.MANN SHOWS BOTH THE LONG-TERM EFFECT OF THE FORC UPON THE MOVI--THE FAMO HAYS MORALY , WHICH NSTRAED THE MOVI TO REPRENTG A RIGIDLY FED VALUE SYSTEM WHOSE IRON GRIP DID NOT BEG TO LOOSEN UNTIL THE 1960S AND '70S--AND THE VERY PERSONAL IMPACT UPON THE ACTORS HOLLYWOOD. THE STUDS CLARED THAT BEG GAY WAS NO LONGER OKAY HOLLYWOOD, THEREBY AVOIDG THE HARSH CRICISM OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND OTHER RELIG GROUPS, AND PROVIDG SP NTROL ON THE GOSSIP NEWSPAPERS THAT WERE RAPIDLY TAKG ON AN ALARMG PENNCE. ACTORS WHO WERE MORED TO BE HOMOSEXUAL WERE ORRED TO GET MARRIED AND GIVE THE PUBLIC WHAT WANTED: A PERSONA WHO F THE ON-SCREEN IMAGE OF AN ACCEPTABLY "MANLY" MAN OR "FEME" WOMAN. MOST ACTORS ACQUICED, TO ONE GREE OR ANOTHER. WHEN HA TOLD MGM STUD HEAD LOUIS B. MAYER, A SCENE THAT HAS BEE LEGEND, THAT HE WAS ALREADY MARRIED--TO HIS LOVER, JIMMIE SHIELDS--HE FOUND HIMSELF "BOOTED OUT" OF THE MOVIE DTRY.HA'S LIFE BOTH THE MOVI AND AFTERWARD, AS "RATOR TO THE STARS," PROVIS A KEYHOLE THROUGH WHICH WE N GET A VERY TIMATE GLIMPSE OF HOLLYWOOD LIFE, GAY AND STRAIGHT, AS ONCE EXISTED BEHD THE VEIL OF SECRECY. HA KNEW EVERYONE (AND SEEMS TO HAVE HAD AFFAIRS WH MANY OF THEM). THROUGH HIS EY, AS RENSTCTED BY MANN, WE SEE THE CREASGLY HIDN WORLD OF EARLY GAY HOLLYWOOD: THE ACTORS--CARY GRANT AND RANDOLPH STT, CLTTE COLBERT AND MARLENE DIETRICH, GRETA GARBO AND RAMON NOVARRO--AND THE PEOPLE BEHD THE SCEN, SUCH AS DIRECTOR GEE COR AND JET-SETTG POSER COLE PORTER, THE TWO FOL POTS OF GAY MALE HOLLYWOOD SOCIETY THE 1930S AND 40S.THE WILLIAM HA STORY IS ALSO A LOVE STORY, ALTHOUGH S POIGNANCY DO NOT BEE FULLY APPARENT UNTIL VERY LATE HIS BGRAPHY. BOTH HA AND JIMMIE SHIELDS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN REMARKABLY PRIVATE MEN; SPE THE HUNDREDS OF HA QUOTATNS AND REMISCENC BY IENDS THAT MANN HAS DRAWN ON, MOST OF HA' MENTS TO THE WORLD FEEL LIKE "WISECRACKS"--HIS TRAMARK BRAND OF FENSIVE HUMOR--AND 'S HARD TO GET A FEELG THAT WE UNRSTAND THIS MAN'S NER LIFE. EVEN LS RMATN REMAS ABOUT SHIELDS, AND WHAT REMISCENC HIS IENDS DO OFFER SOUND RATHER MORE BOORISH THAN ENARG. (RUMOR HAS THAT HA' TRANGEMENT OM COLE PORTER, FOR STANCE, WAS PRECIPATED BY PORTER'S TCHG JIMMIE UNROLY HAVG SEX WH A SAILOR THE BH DURG ONE OF HIS ELEGANT SOIRE.)THE BGRAPHY OF WILLIAM HA IS A REMARKABLY RICH DOCUMENT OF 50 YEARS OF CHANGG HOLLYWOOD MOR, AND MANN HAS SUCCEED ADMIRABLY HIS STATED GOAL OF SHEDDG LIGHT ON THE TOO-LONG-NEGLECTED WORLD OF EARLY HOLLYWOOD GAY LIFE AND CULTURE. BUT 'S THE OTHER THREADS NNG THROUGH HA' LIFE WHICH GIVE THE BOOK S IMPACT: HA' CHANGG IENDSHIPS, HIS PASSNATE LOVE FOR HIS TERR SIGN BS, HIS TTY TREATMENT BY THE SNDAL PRS AND HIS VOTN TO JIMMIE. THROUGH THAT TIMATE, PERSONAL STORY, MANN IS ABLE TO SUCCSFULLY BRG HOME THE IMPACT OF WHAT STARTED OUT AS HIS BOOK'S CENTRAL NARRATIVE: THE SOCPOLIL STORY OF THE "STUTNALIZATN OF THE HOLLYWOOD STORY OF HOW AN DTRY CHANGED, HOW A MUNY OF ARTISTS AND EE THKERS TURNED S BACK ON S OWN THE FACE OF ANIZED, TRADNALIST PRSURE." BUT 'S THE PERSONAL TAILS THAT H HOME THIS STORY OF AN ENARG IF IMPERFECT WISECRACKER, ONE WHOSE FEW REMAG IENDS TODAY REMEMBER HIM, ABOVE ALL ELSE, NOT FOR HIS JOK BUT FOR HIS QUIET {FONT-SIZE:16.5PX;LE-HEIGHT:26PX;BOX-SIZG:NTENT-BOX;MAX-WIDTH:600PX;PADDG:0PX 20PX;MARG:0PX TO;MARG:1EM TO;} A{LOR:#7B1B18;}WANT TO KEEP UP WH BREAKG NEWS?
