In The Search for Sam Goldwyn, Easton tells the story of the legendary Hollywood producer, Sam Goldwyn. She explores his life and work, from his beginnings as a vaudeville performer in New York City to his many successes in the film industry. Along the way, Easton tells the story of the people who worked for and with Goldwyn, from the actors and actresses he mentored and produced to the directors and screenwriters who worked on his films. She also provides a portrait of Goldwyn's life and times, from his tumultuous relationship with his wife, Frances, to his close friendships with such Hollywood icons as Orson Welles and Howard Hughes.

This biography is unique in that it examines Goldwyn's career not only from a historical perspective but also from the point of view of the people who worked with him. It provides a fascinating look at the history of Hollywood and the role of producer in film production.; 8vo; 304 pages; $10.00.
