Hollywood Be Thy Name : The Warner Brothers Story Book

The real story of the Warner brothers has all the drama of a big screen production - a rags-to-riches tale with tension and strife between four brothers, love and marriage, death and divorce, plotting and betrayal. Harry, Sam, Albert, and Jack. Their father Ben insisted that by sticking together they could succeed and prosper. And stick together they did, until they were separated over the years by the death of one brother, and, ultimately, a shocking betrayal. Using family letters, interviews, and personal recollections, Cass Warner Sperling, granddaughter of Harry Warner, and co-author Cork Millner, along with Jack Warner Jr., have shaped a biography of the legendary Hollywood family. Interweaving cinematic style and present-tense voices of still-living family members and former Warner Brothers' associates, Hollywood Be Thy Name transports readers into the lives of Hollywood's most enduring legends.
