Compiled by award-winning writer and editor Stephen Jones, this first volume in a new annual series includes tributes to a trio of Hollywood legends . . . possibly the last star of silent pictures . . . the screen's best James Bond . . . a pair of British actresses who were both "Bond girls" and Avengers . . . two British actors who played-but did not voice-iconic Star Wars characters . . . an author who did for crustaceans what James Herbert did for rodents . . . and a forgotten pioneer of "sword and soul" fantasy . . . all illustrated with numerous photographs and associated images. This is not only a welcome reference volume, but also an informative and entertaining tribute to those we lost in 2020 and who left their mark on books, movies and popular culture in unusual and often fascinating ways.
