Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. Photographs (illustrator). For more than a century the child star cult kept alive the consoling myth of childhood innocence in an increasingly complex and cynical world. In the Golden Age of Hollywood no stars were more universally adored- or more cruelly exploited-than the child stars. But behind the sugary idealized screen image, what was it like to actually be a child star, to become a self-made millionaire and the family breadwinner before reaching kindergarten age? Hollywood's Children tells, for the first time, the full story of the phenomenal child star era, its spectacular rise and fall. What happens to families when parents heed Hollywood's siren call and force a child up the terrifying heights to fame and fortune? What becomes of the once beloved favorite when parental and public rejection turn adolescence into a nightmare of failure and oblivion? The author has not only researched but lived her subject, for as Baby Peggy' one of the youngest child stars in Hollywood history. Book.
