Though it says more, these 4 stars are my favorite
17. Januar 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
First Edition, 265 pages. This book is a sequel to Larry Carr's previous book, "Four Fabulous Faces". In this edition, he concentrates on five legendary Hollywood actresses: Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Dolores Del Rio, Carole Lombard and Myrna Loy.
Through ton of incredible B&W photographs, Mr Carr traces the lives and film careers of each woman and the evolution of their appearance, using screen test shots, movie stills, studio portraits, high fashion sittings and candid photographs. Many of the B&W photographs are full page size and rarely published. This book is a must for fans of old Hollywood and any one or all of the five actresses included. The book is 9" x 11" in size.
As to it saying More in the title, this book is part 2 even better fo me than part 1 which are 4 different starlets.
I was especially pleased that he had interviewed Myrna Loy for the book. So her biography part was top drawer, as are the others.
So many pages that this is the best of both worlds without sacrificing either element photos or bios. And I bought it for the photos I'll admit, and was not sorry. It is a beautiful 1st rate photo book. And I collect the best of them.

One of the Most Beautiful Collections of Actress Photos
18. April 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have loved this book for over 25 years now. I still have my copy I acquired when I was a teenager, the dust jacket is long gone but the book is still cherished. These are five extraordinary women in film history. This book is not as lavish as Larry Carr's first book FOUR FABULOUS FACES (on Crawford, Garbo, Dietrich, and Swanson)but it's an awesome collection of pictures and a good introduction to these stars. I've always felt Davis and Hepburn may have been included for their still being household names and good selling points for the book, though they certainly deserve to be in here, Carr is clearly not as enthusiastic about them as the other ladies and Davis particularly gets a bit of criticism that is sound but seems a little inappropiate given the way he praises Del Rio, Loy, and Lombard to the skies. This was actually the first book published that I can recall that took Davis to task for her ego and allegedly troublesome behaviour. Nevertheless, only a fool would deny Bette Davis is one of the five greatest women stars in film history, and most would say she is in the top two or even number one. The only woman who can compare with her is Katharine Hepburn and while Carr mentions a quirk or two of Hepburn's he is generally highly complementary. Carole Lombard had a major revival in the 1970's and Carr is right there with the crowd praising her elegance and wonderful comic talent; the cooly glamorous Myrna Loy is clearly another major favorite of Carr's, although recognized as a superstar, she is not written about on the level of Hepburn and Davis or even Lombard so it's especially nice to see her getting her due. And then there is Dolores Del Rio. I had never seen her before I got this book 25 years ago, probably never had even heard of her. Back then, I kind of resented someone I was not familiar with at all was put on a pedestal with these mega superstars. Well, I am pleased to say I got over my ignorance, today I absolute love Dolores Del Rio and recognize her awesome, almost peerless beauty. She was also an excellent actress and quite a historically important one given her trailblazing career as a Hispanic star. She most definately is a "fabulous face" and one that deserves to be recognized one of the most dignified and breathtakingly beautiful women motion pictures will ever know. This book is a must for anyone who loves the golden era of Hollywood.

5 More Fabulous Faces!
12. Januar 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a book I purchased for my collection of vintage 'Classic Hollywood' books, including the original Four Fabulous Faces (which was harder to find when I was looking for it). This book rivals the first, in my opinion, for its inclusion of the fascinating studies of Carole Lombard, Myrna Loy and Bette Davis. This is so much more than glamour photography, though there's much of that included. The photos show how the stars developed and changed their hair, make-up styles, etc. to follow changing times or evolving personal styles. It is fascinating to see which looks worked, and which didn't for these women! Like another reviewer, I try to obtain only the best and 'biggest'-- photo-quality-wise-- of the many classic H'wood/ glamour photography books out there, and this definitely belongs in a library of the best available. I've also found this to be of great interest to artists and those studying classic makeup application! I must add that I find it a shame that so many are buying these books merely to 'rip' the gorgeous, full-page portraits to offer on auction websites as "prints"- just an observation...
