Recollections of a Well-Known Name Dropper.
Mesmerising, revelatory text illustrated by photographs - most of them taken by the author - combine in a startling memoir. When Dunne lived and worked in Hollywood he had it all: a beautiful family, a glamorous career, and the friendship of the talented and powerful. He also had a camera and loved to take pictures.
These photographs - carefully preserved in more than a dozen leatherbound scrapbooks - record the parties, the weddings, the everyday lives of the Dunnes and the stars they knew, including Paul Newman, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Brooke Hayward, and Natalie Wood. You'll meet them all in this fascinating book. But most of all, you'll meet Dominick Dunne as he writes about the peaks and valleys of his years in Hollywood, the disastrous turn his life took, and his ultimate triumph. With its appealing informal photographs and candid text, 'The Way We Lived Then' is a riveting and unvarnished account of a life almost lost.
Contains 150 black and white photographs.
