We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Hollywood: The Oral History" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
The real story of Hollywood as told by such luminaries as Steven Spielberg, Frank Capra, Katharine Hepburn, Meryl Streep, Harold Lloyd, and nearly four hundred others, assembled from the American Film Institutes treasure trove of interviews, reveals a fresh history of the American movie industry from its beginnings to today.
From the archives of the American Film Institute comes a unique picture of what it was like to work in Hollywood from its beginnings to its present day. Gleaned from nearly three thousand interviews, involving four hundred voices from the industry, Hollywood: The Oral History, lets a reader listen in on candid remarks from the biggest names in front of the cameraBette Davis, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Harold Lloydto the biggest behind itFrank Capra, Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock, Jordan Peele, as well as the lesser known individuals that shaped what was heard and seen on screen: musicians, costumers, art directors, cinematographers, writers, sound men, editors, make-up artists, and even script timers, messengers, and publicists. The result is like a conversation among the gods and goddesses of film: lively, funny, insightful, historically accurate and, for the first time, authentically honest in its portrait of Hollywood. Its the insiders story.
Legendary film scholar Jeanine Basinger and New York Times bestselling author Sam Wasson, both acclaimed storytellers in their own right, have undertaken the monumental task of digesting these tens of thousands of hours of talk and weaving it into a definitive portrait of workaday Hollywood.

To George Stevens, Jr., Jean Firstenberg, and Bob Gazzale,
and John Basingerone authors husband, one authors friend.
In 1969, the American Film Institute held the first of what would be an ongoing series of intimate conversations between Hollywood professionals and AFI conservatory students. These became the Harold Lloyd Master Seminars, named in honor of their very first guest.
As Hollywoods day-to-day working insiders, the men and women who have participated in the seminars represent the complete life of Hollywood throughout its history. All are experts in their fields. They are the artists, the craftspeople, the producers, the salesmen. Some are famous, others obscure. They speak with the attitudes of their own time, but they speak with authority.
There have been many attempts to tell the story of Hollywood, but there is simply no other spoken accounting of Hollywood as extensive as AFIs. There never will be.
We were granted total and unprecedented access to the AFIs Harold Lloyd seminars, oral histories, and complete archives, which feature more than three thousand guest speakers and total nearly ten thousand hours of conversation. To our knowledge this represents the only comprehensive firsthand history of Hollywood, which is to say, the true story of Hollywood, told not by outsiders, academics, historians, revisionists, or fantasists prone to legend, but by those who are singularly qualified to understand it, the filmmakers themselves.
