Hollywood: The Oral History by Sam Wasson, Jeanine Basinger
Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
I might still listen to this from time to time but I can't stand the male voice and I got the audiobook.
Review from what I did get through: Two voices reading quotes from old Hollywood actors, actresses, writers, producers, etc etc. Each chapter covers a topic. That's the whole book. Horrifying in some places, showing you how incredibly messed up the context was, but magical in others, proving why old Hollywood has a certain unmatched feeling, even if you didn't experience it directly. A good listen to fit in between other things because there's no real narrative, so you can come in and out without much transition.
