America's favorite pastime is the movies; its second favorite pastime is watching the stars whose lives off the set are often more fascinating than the roles they play. Stars on the Set, Stolen Moments satisfies on both fronts: stars on the movie set caught between takes just being themselves (being stars!). But not just any stars, these are the biggest names in movie history-Alec Guinness, Ava Gardner, Alfred Hitchcock, Sophia Loren, James Dean, Marlene Dietrich, Vivian Leigh, John Wayne, Elizabeth Taylor, John Huston, Ingrid Bergman, Charlie Chaplin, Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman-actors and directors in their most candid moments on the sets of the classic films that made them great. Poignant, serious, romantic, surprising and hilarious photographs that reveal a lighter side to a serious business and a serious side to actors who made the movies their life's work.
