'An affectionate collection of pieces on 25 of Tinseltown's biggest stars that is so full of insight it makes you appreciate all the more the subtleties of Bogdanovich's front - of - camera work in The Sopranos.' Sunday Times 'A dazzling album of movie-star portraits... this book brings them to life through a mix of informal conversations, profiles and beautiful black and white photographs.' Sunday Express 'Bogdanovich's engaging assemblage of interviews and pen-portraits clings heroically to the notion that they don't make 'em like that anymore. And he's right.' Empire 'Full of fresh and entertaining details.' Sunday Telegraph
