The Hollywood Greats
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hollywood Greats was a long-running BBC Television series, which started in 1977. The film critic Barry Norman created a series of in depth profiles on major Hollywood film personalities, in which he interviewed surviving associates and revived a lost age. He later created a spin off series called "British Greats" in 1980. A series of books, entitled "The Hollywood Greats", "The Movie Greats" and "The British Greats", which were authored by Norman were subsequently published to great acclaim.
