TV Land Legends
- Used Book in Good Condition
TV Land Legends features your favorite television icons photographed with reverence (Herb Ritts's moving shot of the cast of Alex Haley's Roots) and sheer irreverence (Mark Seliger's giddy shots of the Seinfeld cast re-creating The Wizard of Oz). TV Land Legends also includes classic archival footage from Andy and Opie strolling the streets of Mayberry to James and Florida Evans embracing on a classic episode of Good Times. From shots of Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore posing in rubber and whips to Bob Hope captured alone in a mail room, the images will move fans, reminding us all why these greats have left indelible marks. Both color and black and white, the photographs are primarily portraits, incredibly personal, and often the most iconic and memorable photo ever taken of that celebrity, whether Herb Ritts's hilarious shot of Milton Berle or Annie Liebovitz's shot of a stoic James Garner. The photos, some of which have appeared in magazines like Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, and TV Guide, captivate readers and move us with a new way to view a familiar face. TV Land Legends brings them all together, making this collection one of unparalleled content and rarity.
Interwoven throughout the images are original and reprinted texts and quotes from the TV stars themselves and the stars that inspired them. Read Robin Williams talking about playing Mork, Billy Crystal talking about Sid Caesar, a hilarious take on playing a doctor from George Clooney, and some priceless zingers from Bob Hope.
The book will also feature 35 short essays that ponder what makes a TV legend. Why is it, exactly, that we cannot avert our eyes? Read original essays by today's most original thinkers.
TV Land Legends is a book of the highest design and manufacturing quality, perfect for showing off in (where else?) the living room, near the family television.
