{"product_id":"robert-taylor-charles-tranberg-9781593938789","title":"Robert Taylor: A Biography (hardback)","description":"This is the HARDBACK edition. \"Chuck Tranberg meticulously and painstakingly researched, explored, and carefully chronicled this fascinating time in history. He offers us a glimpse into early Hollywood where the studio system incubated and dominated so many stars, Robert Taylor among them.\" -Terry Taylor, son of Robert Taylor, in his introduction to this book. Robert Taylor was one of Hollywood's biggest stars for over thirty-years and starred in such classic films as Magnificent Obsession, Camille, A Yank at Oxford, Waterloo Bridge, Johnny Eager, Quo Vadis, Ivanhoe and The Last Hunt. He worked with the cream of Hollywood leading ladies: Irene Dunne, Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, Vivien Leigh, Lana Turner, Katharine Hepburn and Barbara Stanwyck, who he later married, just to name a few. An open and friendly man who usually tried to avoid controversy, Taylor stepped into it when he became a so-called friendly witness appearing before the House Un-American Activities Committee during the height of the Washington investigations into alleged Communism in Hollywood. It has haunted his reputation to this day. A happy second marriage to actress Ursula Thiess produced two children and gave Taylor a contentment he lacked in his earlier marriage. Author Charles Tranberg takes a fresh look at the actor who was once called, \"The man with the perfect profile.\" This book also takes a fascinating look at the Hollywood Studio system which existed during Taylor's hey-day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Tranberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1593938780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781593938789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e BearManor Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Charles Tranberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979290476799,"sku":"9781593938789","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1713ea73-2563-4f56-b8f6-f64af06dbc41.jpg?v=1683244763","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/robert-taylor-charles-tranberg-9781593938789","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
