Description

Put on a pot of your favorite coffee, perk up, and enjoy nostalgic black-and-white photos that celebrate screen icons from the Silent Era through the eighties, making and drinking their own cups of joe, java, pour-overs, and percolated brews. Hollywood Cafe bridges the vibrant coffee culture of right-now with the glamorous coffee culture of the star-studded past. A dream cast of nearly 200 stars—Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Clara Bow, Charlie Chaplin, W. C. Fields, Robert Mitchum, Rita Hayworth, Bob Hope, Michael Caine, Jane Fonda, Ava Gardner, Jackie Gleason, Lucille Ball, Elvis Presely, Jayne Mansfield, Sammy Davis Jr., William Holden, Lauren Bacall, John Wayne, and many more—is captured on the set, on the run, in costume and out, behind-the-scenes and at the kitchen table, refilling and refueling, sipping and savoring, drinking the good stuff, just like us.

Probably the ultimate coffee table book. Can you imagine a better recipe for a book in this particular genre, than Stars and their cup of coffee? I'm sure you can't.

Well here it is, filled with stunning, high quality pictures and accompanied with sweet anecdotes and various details. Stars are holding their steamy cups and photographers are there to capture interesting moments, either while filming, taking a break or simply while devouring their favorite beverage.

Some of the names inside:
Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Montgomery Clift, Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, Janis Paige, Rhonda Fleming, Lauren Bacall, Sammy Davis Jr., Jerry Lewis, Sophia Loren, James Dean, Audrey Hepburn, Anita Ekberg, Anthony Quinn, Goldie Hawn, Michael Caine, Warren Beatty, Steve McQueen, Humphrey Bogart, Gregory Peck, Ingrid Bergman, Woody Allen.

The ultimate coffee table book - a book full of classic Hollywood stars enjoying a cup o'joe! With lovely little anecdotes to accompany each image, it's great if you're a coffee-drinker, or a movie-lover, and even better if you're a movie-loving coffee-drinker!
(Bonus points for a late 30s Jimmy Stewart. Oh my!)
