"This book provides a backstage pass to some of the most famous sets in film history through the stunning photographs of acclaimed documentary photographer, Mary Ellen Mark. Over the last forty years, Mark has been given unprecedented access behind the scenes to make beautiful, candid pictures of actors and actresses, as well as some of the world's most celebrated directors. Mark's fascinating photographs provide a rare glimpse of these artists in unguarded moments - between take, in rehearsal, and during filming. They offer insight into the making of legendary productions. A range of high-profile film industry figures have also contributed their own anecdotes about the world of film-making to complete this exciting portrait of life "seen behind the scene.""--Jacket.
