Without doubt, this is the best trivia book on the market. A collection of over 300 lists, everything you could possibly ask about Hollywood stars is here: inauspicious screen debuts, stars' old jobs, how they were discovered, those who've had a spell inside, the worst films of all times, scathing reviews of what are now considered classics, sex scandals, mistakes in films, weird demands in contracts, the most sadistic directors, and what stars' fans have got up to - it's all here... Whilst dishing the dirt - in spades - and spotting all those little gaffes that audiences usually let the film get away with, Hollywood Trivia is essential and fascinating reading. This book cannot be recommended enough. - Film Review
