PRODUCT OVERVIEW: ARE THE STARS OUT TONIGHT?
This book is a nostalgic, pictorial journey through the "Golden Age" of Hollywood. Margaret Burk, who served as the public relations director for the Ambassador, provides an insider's look at the celebrities, events, and scandals that defined the hotel.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS & CONTENT
* The Cocoanut Grove: Detailed accounts of the nightclub that hosted everyone from Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby to Judy Garland and Sammy Davis Jr.
* The Early Academy Awards: Stories from the era when the Oscars were held in the hotels ballroom (where the name "Oscar" was allegedly coined).
* Historical Significance: While largely a celebration of glamour, the book touches on the hotel's role in history, including its use by every U.S. President from Hoover to Nixon, and the tragic assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in the hotel kitchen in 1968.
* Richly Illustrated: The book is "chock-a-block" with rare monochrome photographs of stars at work and play.
