This best-selling encyclopedia is the definitive Who' s Who of cinema, with everything you will ever need to know about major and behind-the-scenes players. It' s packed with biographical profiles of actors and actresses, directors, producers, editors, and other key figures. "Halliwell' s Who' s Who in the Movies" also features filmographies, entries on the major studios and the foreign film industry, a history of the cinema, and information on all the major film awards, including a list of Oscar winners and nominations. Opinionated, witty, and packed with more information than any other film guide, it' s as wonderfully unclassifiable as it is impossible to put down.
