About Starflacker: Inside The Golden Age Of Hollywood
Product Description Stardom Seen from a Different Perspective A renowned Hollywood press agent to the superstars... a “starflacker” in a phrase his daughter coined for him... captures the spirit of the Golden Age of Hollywood and of its legendary talents. His very personal experience of their wit, charm and antics, relived in well over a thousand anecdotes, defines a time of classic films and undying stardoms which made Hollywood the world’s code-word for glamor and meaningful entertainment. Reflecting the distinctive originality of the hundreds of stars-forever with whom he worked and interwove, each tale is drawn from his sixty years at the top and on the inside, decades of cherished insights, amusements and adventures. In the process he reveals why there once was a time of beloved stardoms which defined and inspired the public’s shared dreams and values... and why it has slipped away. About the Author Dick Guttman is, according to top entertainment journalist for the Hollywood Reporter, Scott Feinberg, “one of the most experienced and accomplished film publicists who ever lived, his knowledge and experience stretching from the Golden Age through the present day.“ Guttman has for over sixty years helped in the building and maintaining of the careers of literally hundreds of stars, superstars and legends. He has also forcefully helped shape the campaigns and award-collectings of dozens of classic motion pictures. In the process, he stored up a rich anecdotal history of stardom in its various transitions. His enduring regard as a master of the mysterious craft of PR Hollywood style derives as much from his daring strategies as it does from the Hall of Fame clientele he has served, many of them represented by him for decades continuing into his and his firm’s current energetic and creative activities for great stars of the past, the present and the future. While he has written scripts for theatrical and television motion pictures, his favorite writing has continued to be his capture of the originality, wit, humanity and mischievous antics of the exalted stars around whose lives his own career wove.
