My First Time in Hollywood: Stories from the Pioneers, Dreamers and Misfits Who Made the Movies

My First Time in Hollywood is a collection of intimate stories (along with over 60 vintage photos and illustrations) about coming to Southern California by forty-one legends of the film business. Actors, directors, set decorators, screenwriters, cinematographers, and editors — half of them women — give their initial impressions of Hollywood, tell of their struggle to find work, and recall their enduring love for making movies. Drawn from letters, speeches, oral histories, and autobiographies, each story is unique, but all speak to the universal struggle to discover our place, follow our passions, and become members of a community that will feed our soul.
