| Abstract |
For enthusiasts of screen musicals, singing, Hollywood history, and the lives of movie stars, no other published work equals this presentation of the on- and off-camera careers of more than 100 performers who made major contributions to the American screen musical. While the emphasis of this book is on each star's contribution to movie musicals and other genre of films, the individual's full career is also put in the spotlight. Each performer's chapter contains a filmography, discography, a list of Broadway appearances, as well as the star's performances in radio and television series. |
| Bibliography note | Includes filmographies, discographies, and indexes. |
