- Obits Taken from the NY Times
I have both Hollywood Album(1977) & Hollywood Album 2(1979). What the first book (with Monroe, Harlow, Fields, & many others) missed, the second book more than covers, up to its publication (Elvis, Crosby, Chaplin, & more). Its interesting also to see other major headlines of the news imposed on some of the front page obits.
These two books are like bibles to me and I re-read them when I get the chance and keep them in pristine condition with fabric bookcovers as well. I wished the New York Times would pick up the ball and run with follow-up editions.
Truly a must for those interested in reading famous obituaries!

Rating:

- We need a follow-up!
This book (and its sequel) are the kind of volumes we just don't see anymore, sad to say. A superb and absorbing collection of film-star obits from the New York Times (1920s-70s), Hollywood Album is hard to put down. I do wish the Times would publish a large, one-volume collection of obits from their files, or that Variety would boil their immense obit collection down to one affordable book! Historians and film fans alike would snap it up.

Rating:

- An easy-read about Hollywood's golden personalities.
Hollywood Album is a concise, easy-read. Since obituaries of notable persons are almost always prepared well before the person's death, these articles are well researched and very accurate. There is a handy "Filmography" at the end of the book listing, again, each notable personality and the movies in which they were involved (although I have found some of these lists not be totally complete).

An excellent find if you can locate this book. The last printing was in June, 1977 and the most "recent" obituary is Rosalind Russell's, who died in May, 1977.
