{"product_id":"the-first-king-of-hollywood-tracey-goessel-9781613738948","title":"The First King of Hollywood: The Life of Douglas Fairbanks","description":"Douglas Fairbanks was the greatest leading man of his generation--the first and the best of the swashbucklers. He made some of the greatest films of the silent era, including \u003ci\u003eThe Thief of Bagdad\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Robin Hood\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e The Mark of Zorro\u003c\/i\u003e. With Charlie Chaplin, D. W. Griffith, and his wife, film star Mary Pickford, he founded United Artists. Pickford and Fairbanks ruled Hollywood as its first king and queen for a decade. Now a cache of newly discovered love letters from Fairbanks to Pickford form the centerpiece of the first truly definitive biography of Hollywood's first king, the man who did his own stunts, built his own studio, and formed a company that allowed artists to distribute their own wealth outside the studio system. Fairbanks was fun, witty, engaging, creative, athletic, and a force to be reckoned with. He shaped our idea of the Hollywood hero, and his story, like his movies, is full of passion, bravado, and romance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tracey Goessel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1613738943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781613738948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chicago Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 1.50d","brand":"Tracey Goessel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939179430143,"sku":"9781613738948","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3b81be25-6558-4036-9678-9cfec7d93c21.jpg?v=1681439967","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-first-king-of-hollywood-tracey-goessel-9781613738948","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
