Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, Screen World has been the film professional's, as well as the film buff's, favorite and indispensable annual screen resource, full of all the necessary statistics and facts. Now Screen World editor Barry Monush has compiled another comprehensive work for every film lover's library. In the first of two volumes, this book chronicles the careers of every significant film actor, from the earliest silent screen stars – Chaplin, Pickford, Fairbanks – to the mid-1960s, when the old studio and star systems came crashing down. Each listing includes: a brief biography, photos from the famed Screen World archives, with many rare shots; vital statistics; a comprehensive filmography; and an informed, entertaining assessment of each actor's contributions – good or bad! In addition to every major player, Monush includes the legions of unjustly neglected troupers of yesteryear. The result is a rarity: an invaluable reference tool that's as much fun to read as a scandal sheet. It pulsates with all the scandal, glamour, oddity and glory that was the lifeblood of its subjects. Contains over 1 000 photos!

Download or read book Quinlan s Character Stars written by David Quinlan and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Character stars are the scene-stealers of the movies. These are the actors and actresses who have the ability to bring an entire character to life in a few lines -- sometimes in just a bare few moments of screen time. On other occasions they may tackle the kind of big roles that stars prefer to avoid: sidekicks, villains, victims or losers. But the concentrated energy of their best performances is hugely memorable -- filmgoers recognise their faces, even if their names are sometimes less than familiar. Quinlan's Character Stars is David Quinlan's definitive reference source for these unforgettable and indispensable artists of the silver screen: Rowan Atkinson, Steve Buscemi, Elisha Cook Jr, Gert Frobe, Ice-T, James Earl Jones, Beryl Reid, Alan Rickman, Michael Ripper, Harry Dean Stanton, Jessica Tandy, JT Walsh, Dianne Wiest and hundreds more. A bountiful A-Z brimming with over 1200 representatives of the finest character talent from the British and American studios, from before the coming of sound right up to the movies of today. Each character star is given a complete entry, modelled on the format of Quinlan's Film Stars. Each entry includes a brief biographical sketch, a photograph of the actor or actress, and a definitive listing of all their movie performances. Book jacket.
