4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating tour of Hollywood homes, Feb 28 2005

By W. Oliver - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Movie Star Homes: The Famous to the Forgotten (Paperback)

If you love Hollywood, architecture or are just curious about what kind of homes the movie stars live in, you will find this book fascinating. It includes over 350 entries - from silent greats (Garbo, Valentino) to modern day stars (Brad Pitt & Jennifer Anniston) - although the majority of the entries are the classic stars of yester-year. Each entry includes the address, a brief sentence or two about their career and fame followed by a paragraph about the house itself and a black and white photo. The photos are usually good although there are some that are very small and others in which you can only see a fence or a driveway. The captions note that some of the stars only lived in the houses for a few years. You might be surprised at how modest a lot of the homes are! An appendix gives "movie star homes by region" and "theme tours." If you are taking a trip to Hollywood, you will definately want to take this book with you, and it is a fun book to browse even if you are not going there.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Guide That Could Use More Modern Stars and Homes, Dec 12 2008

By Mediaman "TVviewer" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Movie Star Homes: The Famous to the Forgotten (Paperback)

This is a good guide to over 350 homes of Hollywood stars. The book orders the homes by the last name of the star, then includes the address of the home, a paragraph about the star and a paragraph about when the star lived in the home. There are small pictures of the star and the home.

The book focuses a lot on really old movie stars, including many from the silent era. The few contemporary stars in the book rarely have their current homes listed--it may be an apartment they stayed in 20 years ago or a first home they purchased before they made it big.

A map would also help. For those not familiar with L.A., we have no idea where these houses are in relation to anything else.

Compared to other guides that are out, this is a pretty good book but dated. Don't get it if you are trying to find a bunch of modern houses of stars. For movie historians only.
