A classic, first published by Rizzoli Universe in the 1990s, now brought back into print: the insider’s view of Hollywood as narrated by famed guests who visited or resided at the Chateau Marmont over its 100-year history. If the walls could talk, this would be the great story of Hollywood. Through the lens of the legendary Chateau Marmont, Hollywood’s hippest and hottest haunt, comes an extraordinary, glamorous, and fierce history and exquisite literary collection baring the stars, the landscape, and the ever-changing mood of America’s most absorbing town as narrated by legends including William Faulkner, Eve Babitz, Dominick Dunne, Gore Vidal, Jay McInerney, and many others. Rare and original texts, heart-stopping photography—including images by Helmut Newton, Wolfgang Tillmans, Sofia Coppola, and Bruce Weber—and decades of gossip and anecdotes take the reader from film to rock and roll, from scandals to masterpieces, from starlets to moguls, and from studios to bungalows in an unprecedented tour of Hollywood from the Golden Age to this morning’s wake-up call. A beloved classic, Hollywood Handbook’s cult is summarized best by Jarvis Cocker: “I’ve been carrying this book around for 20 years. Things happen at Chateau Marmont. Mythical, glamourous, sexy, wonderful, tragic things . . .”
