SynopsisWilliam Haines came to Hollywood after winning a new-talent contest in 1922. He appeared in at least twenty films as a leading man to many of Hollywood's famous stars, such as Joan Crawford and Marion Davies. As Haines' film career faded, his skills as a self-taught decorator flourished. Soon, he was decorating the homes of the elite crowd of the movie industry, including mogul Jack Warner and director George Cukor. Peter Schifando, a longtime associate of Haines' business partner, Ted Graber, and Jean H. Mathison, who worked with Haines for thirty years, have opened their private collections to bring together more than three hundred photographs and drawings of Haines' fabulous interiors as well as his classic furniture designs, which include the influential Elbow, Hostess, and Seniah chairs., First monograph on this legendary decorator's most important interior design projects. A glimpse into the glamorous private world of Hollywood movie stars' homes. Images of interiors by world- famous photographers.

A Class Act says it all!
Not only was William Haines a famous movie star in the late 1920's and early 30's, he walked away from Hollywood and transitioned into a brilliant designer after being told by Louis B. Mayer, "You loose the boyfriend or I will not renew your contract". With his innate style, class and personality, for the next 40 years, "Billy" had no problem at all becoming THE Designer the stars, wealthy socialites, art patrons, and elite came to design their homes and furnishings. This book has beautiful photos of his home and furniture designs for friend Joan Crawford (he nicknamed "Cranberry") the Warners, George Cukor, and many others. Staunton, Virginia is home to Woodrow Wilson, and the Statler Brothers, but in my opinion, William Haines shines as the most resilient, talented Shenandoah Valley native to date!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Class Act refers to both the star Billy Haines and his work in interior design during the 1930s and 1940s.
For anyone who loves the movies and legendary stars, especially from the Golden Era, then that person knows who Bill Haines was. Actor turned decorator to the stars, Billy was the epitome of style and elegance. Interior decorators, fashionistas, and furniture aficionados will love this book!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
