This is an A-Z of people in cinema. While "Halliwell's Film Guide" is about films, the "Who's Who" is about the people in them. Packed with comprehensive biographical profiles of actors and actresses, directors, producers, editors and other key personnel, as well as notes on the major studios, foreign cinema, cinematic themes and definitions of technical terms, this is a wide-ranging publication. This new edition is completely revised and updated and includes more substantial biographies of the stars, a history of the cinema from 1894-1998, lists of Oscar winners and nominations through the years, details of all the major film festival awards, as well as over 1000 new entries on the famous and not so famous names in the movie industry.
