William Haines came to Hollywood after winning a new-talent contest in 1922. He appeared in over twenty films as a leading man to many of Hollywood's famous stars, including Joan Crawford, Marion Davies, and Constance Bennett. As Haines's film career dwindled, his self-taught decorating skills flourished. Many of his costars became his first clients, and later he designed the homes of the film industry's elite, including movie mogul Jack Warner and director George Cukor. Longtime Haines assistant Jean H. Mathison and Peter Schifando have opened the William Haines Inc. archive to bring together this unique collection of over 300 photographs and drawings (some never before published) of Haines's classic furniture designs and his most important projects.

Class Act: William Haines
Short version: Not bad for a long magazine article, not great for a book.
Long version: I wouldn't call this so much a history as an expose, a nice journalistic paddle in the shallows of what the SCA is. Every so often, O'Donnell seems to hedge in the hopes of not offending SCA folk, which can be frustrating, if understandable. Further frustration sets in when you read about a particularly interesting aspect of the Society about which O'Donnell only has superficial things to say. Certainly don't expect to hear as much about fighting as about people. Perhaps the most satisfying thing is getting the back-story on Valharic, currently King of Atlantia and soon to become the Duke he dreams of being in O'Donnell's book.
