| Sumario: | "Hollywood was not always a bastion of liberalism. Following World War II, an informal alliance of movie stars, studio moguls and Southern California business interests formed to revitalize a factionalized Republican Party. Coming together were stars such as John Wayne, Robert Taylor, George Murphy and many others, who joined studio heads Cecil B. DeMille, Louis B.

This is an exciting story based on extensive new research that will forever change how we think of Hollywood politics"--Provided by publisher |
