London: Bloomsbury Publishing. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. 2002. 1st U.K. edition. Hardcover. [nice clean book, minor shelfwear only; jacket shows just a touch of handling wear]. (B&W photographs) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author/photographer in red ink on the half-title page: "For ____ / with love / Eve" (in a somewhat shaky hand). A collection of Arnold's candid photographs of (mostly) actors and actresses, taken behind the scenes on numerous films from the 1950s to the 1980s, accompanied by "the notes and impressions made by Arnold during the shoot. As her camera revealed the unseen sides of Hollywood legends, Arnold also became privy to their private lives. In her [book], she writes memorably about the tensions and dramas on the film sets, of Marilyn Monroe combing her public hair during an interview, Simone Signoret discussing her husband Yves Montand's infidelities, Joan Crawford sneaking in vodka in a Pepsi cooler, and Marlene Dietrich recounting her night with John F. Kennedy." ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
