"Kenneth Anger explores Hollywood in "Hollywood Babylon" by introducing the reader to the early days of film, focusing mainly on the lives of the actors and executives, their successes and failures, and of course, the scandals. Anger tells tales about many of the most famous stars of Old Hollywood. There are many that may not be recognized by film buffs of today; however, it is important to understand who they were and why their contributions to Hollywood were important. Others are legendary for their work as well as their checkered pasts and penchant for drink, drugs, sex, and mayhem. The author addresses the temper tantrums, orgies, drunken parties, drugs, murders, suicides, and the rise and fall from fame, complete with broken lives, ruined careers and lost fortunes. "
