Book itself is not authographed. Embossed stamp on t-p. Dorothy Lamour (December 10, 1914 - September 22, 1996) was an American actress and singer. She is best remembered for appearing in the Road to... movies, a series of comedies starring Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. Lamour began her career in the 1930s as a big band singer. In 1936, she moved to Hollywood where she contracted with Paramount Pictures. Her appearance as "Ulah" in The Jungle Princess (1936) brought her fame and marked the beginning of her image as the "Sarong Queen". In 1940, Lamour made her first Road to... comedy film, Road to Singapore. The Road to... films were popular during the 1940s. The sixth film in the series, Road to Bali, was released in 1952. By that time, Lamour's screen career began to wane, and she focused on stage and television work. In 1961, Crosby and Hope teamed up for one more, The Road to Hong Kong, but actress Joan Collins was cast as the female lead. Lamour made a brief appearance and sang a song near the end of that film. In the 1970s, Lamour revived her nightclub act and, in 1980, released her autobiography My Side of the Road. She made her final onscreen appearance in 1987. In 1980, Lamour published her autobiography, My Side of the Road, and revived her nightclub act. During the remainder of the decade, she performed in plays and television shows such as Hart to Hart, Crazy Like a Fox, Remington Steele, and Murder, She Wrote. In 1987, she made one last big-screen appearance in the movie Creepshow 2, appearing with George Kennedy as an aging couple who are killed during a robbery. The wooden, Native American statue in front of their general store comes to life to avenge their death. The 72-year-old Lamour quipped: "Well, at my age you can't lean against a palm tree and sing 'Moon of Manakoora'," she said. "People would look at that and say, 'What is she trying to do?'" During the 1990s, she made only a handful of professional appearances but remained a popular interview subject for publications and TV talk and news programs. In 1995, the musical Swinging on a Star, a revue of songs written by Johnny Burke (who wrote many of the most famous Road to ... movie songs as well as the score to Lamour's film And the Angels Sing (1944)) opened on Broadway and ran for three months; Lamour was credited as a "special advisor". It was nominated for the Best Musical Tony Award; the actress playing her in the road movie segment, Kathy Fitzgerald, was also nominated., Prentice-Hall, 1980, E-171: Magicimage Filmbooks.

Kay Harmon, managing director of Technicolor Corporation's British facility wrote to Dr. Herbert T. Kalmus upon learning of his plan to write an autobiographical account of the development of Technicolor: ...You have created a new art form and I acclaim it so and reject any accusation of vanity. You have created a new and fascinating world of colour that can be used in the arts and sciences to reveal the texture of life, to teach, to educate and to inform. But most important is its adaptation to an art form. You, more than any man living, have accomplished that. For tens of millions of people you have held a mirror up to nature and brought colour into their lives and into their world...E-171; 9.10 X 6.30 X 1.10 inches; 238 pages ., Magicimage Filmbooks, 1993<
