Summary: "John Kobal, the world's foremost film archivist, has amassed an unrivaled photographic treasure of Hollywood glamour portraits. As an author and noted film historian, he has also been a major force behind the tremendous revival of interest in the work of the great studio photographers such as George Hurrell, Ted Allan, Lazlo Willinger, and Clarence Sinclair Bull. The selection of photographs in this book extends from the mid-1930s to the 1950s, the period in which color photography became established in Hollywood, and contains 74 spectacular images of the major stars." -- BOOK JACKET

Summary: "SKYWALKING is the story of one of the most creative visionaries in all film history. George Lucas was a typical Californian child of no great promise - he read comic books and watched TV; no one guessed that his imagination would inspire millions of people. Dale Pollock brilliantly tells the story of Lucas's legendary days at USCinema and his tangles with Francis Coppola and Universal Pictures. Pollock was one of the few reporters allowed on the set of RETURN OF THE JEDI, and he takes us behind the scenes of Lucas's movies. We find out how Artoo-Detoo got his name, how the Force came to be, and many other surprising revelations. Complete with photographs from Lucas's private collection, SKYWALKING is a powerful biography about a man who is setting the future course of film for years to come." [Taken from book jacket]
