A dandy, a crooner and an actor, talented and scandalous, as close to the Kennedys as to the underworld barons, Frank Sinatra fascinates. Coming from a small town in New Jersey, the bad boy married Ava Gardner and conquered Hollywood, starring in over 60 films and winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1953 for his role in From Here to Eternity. It's thanks to music, however, that his talent gained worldwide recognition. Nicknamed 'The Voice' by the international press, Sinatra imposed his unique style and sold over 150 million albums in his 62-year career. Sinatra can be seen as a monumental artist. His life is summed up in one of his first hits: 'Nothing but the Best'; he was always associated with the best composers, best musicians and best arrangers. In his personal life it was also the best vintage wine, the most beautiful women and all the extravagant luxury that accompanies a superstar (and some would say a bad boy's) life. Frank Sinatra, Life in Pictures recalls this exceptional journey through a captivating biography and rare and intimate photographs.

Elizabeth Taylor was one of the first great actresses to embrace the Hollywood lifestyle. Accomplished in her field and revered for her beauty, Liz's career firmly placed her in the limelight from an early age. Films such as National Velvet, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof paved the way for her to become the first actress to be paid $1 million for her infamous appearance with Richard Burton in Cleopatra. Elizabeth's off-screen life was as eventful as her on-screen one — the press fascination with her many marriages creating the kind of celebrity obsession we see today. In later life her involvement with charity work, especially her own AIDS charity has shown another side to this award winning actress. Life in Pictures documents the life and career of this beauty icon, showing many images of the woman, in private and public, which will be a delight to her many fans. A detailed biography accompanies the images. It features beautiful pictures taken by leading photographers — many never seen before. It chronicles Elizabeth Taylor's glamorous and varied life. It is a lavish addition to the Life in Pictures series.
