Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. "[Eileen Cope] debuts with a marvelous history of how rival gossip columnists Louella Parsons (1881-1972) and Hedda Hopper (1885-1966) kept movie studios vigilant during the Golden Age of Hollywood . . . It's a profound portrait of how the press shapes the public's understanding of fame." Publishers Weekly ("Starred Review") "[Eileen] Cope has crafted an impeccably researched and stunningly detailed peek into old Hollywood glamour and intrigue . . . A tantalizing historical treat about the duo who laid the groundwork for today's blogs, tabloids, and influencers." Library Journal In the 1920s, the birth of the star system in Hollywood transformed young men and women from obscure shadows into radiant constellations. The name of the game was glamour, and it was played with a fervor that eclipsed the boundaries of reality. Behind the scenes, puppeteers called studios orchestrated romances, maintained facades, and spun illusions as delicate as a spider's silk. This carefully curated dreamscape was ripe for journalists with an attitude to expose its hypocrisy, scandals, and hidden debauchery, and two of them led the way with a combined following of 75 million readers: Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons. Their rivalry was the stuff of legend, a clash of titans that resonated far beyond the Hollywood Hills. The studios, aware of the power these women held, courted them with gifts and flattery, encouraging a rivalry that fueled the gossip mills and kept the public hungry for more. Late-night visits, clandestine whispers, and veiled threats--the tools of their trade were as potent as the potions in a sorcerer's arsenal. Hollywood Whispers delves into the lives and intertwined destinies of Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons. Their columns were not just ink on paper; they were the architects of dreams and the harbingers of doom. Through scandal and spectacle, laughter and tears, they etched their indelible marks on the silver screen's most glamorous era, leaving a legacy as enduring as the Hollywood sign against the California sky. Welcome to a world where gossip was golden, and two women held the keys to the kingdom. As columnist Liz Smith has written, "The studios created both of them. And they thought they could control both of them. But they became Frankenstein monsters escaped from the labs."
