Nearly 1700 film stars are included in this revised, updated and expanded edition of the "Illustrated Directory of Film Stars". From Abbott and Costello to Efrem Zimbalist Junior, the best-known figures from Britain and Hollywood are joined by the best stars from the Continent. Over 300 new names and much new information have been added since the first edition of this work. For each star there is a concise record of his or her life and work, including all film appearances - right down to the tiniest role. Each entry is accompanied by a photograph. David Quinlan is also the author of "The Illustrated Directory of Film Character Actors", "The Illustrated Guide to Film Directors" and "British Sound Films 1928-1959".
