Seduction: Sex, Lies, and Stardom in Howard Hughes's Hollywood by Karina Longworth

5.0

A truly fascinating book - I learnt a lot about behind-the-scenes Old Hollywood, especially the predatory nature of many of the big studios, and how Howard Hughes took advantage of the system to entrap, monitor, control and essentially abuse young (some VERY young) women. I was intrigued to learn more about some of these perhaps lesser known actresses (at least to me) and some 30s/40s films I either hadn't heard of or/and haven't yet seen - I definitely want to see "Hell's Angels"(1930) and "The Outlaw" (1943).
