Gene Kelly pioneered a style of dancing on film that was muscular and dynamic, yet always deceptively casual. He performed in sweaters and sweatshirts, chinos and jeans and above all, in a sailor suit. His first film, "For Me and My Gal", co-starring Judy Garland was a smash hit, but "Cover Girl" in 1994, partnering him with Rita Hayworth confirmed him as a star. The pinnacle of his career, however, was "Singin' in the Rain" in 1952. One of the screen's most enduring icons is that of Kelly swinging on a lamp-post in a downpour, an ecstatic smile on his face, an unopened brolly in his hand. Kelly's smiling, warm persona held great appeal for audiences worldwide. His pas de deux with Jerry the Mouse in "Anchors Aweigh", his song-and-dance to "I Got Rhythm" with the French children in "An American in Paris" and his sidewalk roller-skate number in "It's always the Weather" are among the many unforgettable highlights of movie musicals that he created.

For those who thought that Dame Gladys Cooper was only the character actress who played grande dames and dowagers, this book is a real eye-opener. Cooper was one of the most collected postcard stars during WWI, and by the time she arrived in Hollywood, she had been acting for almost forty years and had run her own theatre. Review by Graceann Macleod "Books Fuel My Life" (London, UK) Sheridan Morley, her grandson, wrote this book with great love, yet it is surprisingly clear-eyed. She was not an easy woman to get along with, but her family and friends seem to have accepted this as part of her special allure. She was tough yet generous, loving yet cool. The book includes numerous photographs of Miss Cooper throughout her life and career, from her early days as a stunningly beautiful beginner through to her final performance, when she was still quite lovely for all the years lived showing through her eyes. Life was meant to be lived full throttle and retiring was for wimps as far as Cooper was concerned. She only stepped down when illness forced her, much against her will, and she died only a few weeks afterward.

Sheridan Morley—author, actor, director, critic—has spent his life working among the world’s greatest stars of stage and screen. In The Brits Who Conquered Hollywood, he chronicles the lives, loves, lavish parties, and rivalries of Britain’s last empire-builders.
