Those in search of a gift idea for friends celebrating a birthday this month may want to keep an eye out for “Glamour of the Gods (Steidl), which spotlights Hollywood portraiture during the industry’s golden age (perfectly suited to any Leo, right?). Cherry-picked from the archive of the John Kobal Foundation in London (one of the world’s top resources for Hollywood portraiture) these dramatically styled black-and-white images taken between 1920 and 1960 perfectly exemplify why Kobal was the twentieth century’s preeminent authority on Hollywood photography. Among the stars included in the book are Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo, Marlon Brando, Marlene Dietrich, Humphrey Bogart, Rock Hudson, Grace Kelly, and Rita Hayworth. How times have changed.
