Styling the Stars: Lost Treasures from the Twentieth Century Fox Archive

Insight Editions publishes treasure trove of never-before-seen photographs from Hollywood’s golden age in Styling the Stars

Back in the early days of Hollywood cinema, the impeccable style of stars like Clark Gable, Audrey Hepburn, and Julie Andrews was the result of meticulous hairstyling, makeup artistry, and elaborate costume design. Once camera-ready, actors would pose for photographs to ensure that their appearance remained consistent throughout the filming process—photographs that were never shared with the public.

Styling the Stars: Lost Treasures from the Twentieth Century Fox Archive is a stunning collection of never-before-seen continuity photographs, offering readers an intimate, candid look at Hollywood’s golden age and beyond. Written by beloved actress Angela Cartwright(The Sound of Music, Lost in Space) and Tom McLaren, with a foreword by Maureen O’Hara (Miracle on 34th Street), the book was released by Insight Editions in October 2014.

Featuring behind-the-scenes photographs of more than 150 actors, including Hollywood’s most iconic personalities—such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Julie Andrews, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, and Paul Newman--Styling the Stars also shares revelatory stories about Twentieth Century Fox classics, including Miracle on 34th Street, The Sound of Music, Cleopatra, Valley of the Dolls, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and more.

Readers will find photographs of Shirley Temple as she runs a brush through her trademark curls, Marilyn Monroe as she’s styled forThere’s No Business Like Show Business, Cary Grant as he suits up for a swim, and Paul Newman donning a six-shooter, among hundreds of rare, never-before-published photographs that capture the evolution of Hollywood style from the 1930s to the early 1970s.

Styling the Stars is a stunning collector’s volume of film and fashion photography, as well as an invaluable compendium of movie history.
