But for The Los Angeles Times and The Los Angeles Mirror, these celebrities were the stuff of everyday local news. And the newspapers' photographers were on hand to record all the important events of Los Angeles' emerging film community. Marraiges. Divoces. Births. Even, perhaps especially, arrests, court appearances and suicides. You'll find 200 of these extraordinary photos inside, many of them in their first-ever printing. You'll see Marilyn Munroe as she entered Hollywood, and as she left it; Liz Taylor when she signed her first studio contract at age 11 and as she lived with it for the next four decades; Mae West, in wax and in trouble. Also pictured are Jane Russell, Frank Sinatra, Rita Hayworth, Errol Flynn and scores of other stars at the height, and sometimes the depth, of their Hollywood lives.
