Product Description
The new edition of Halliwell’s unique and bestselling encyclopedia of the people in the movies. More than just a guide – it’s an essential, addictive and hugely enjoyable companion for anyone who enjoys films.
Halliwell’s Who’s Who in the Movies is the essential A–Z of the people in cinema. While Halliwell’s Film Guide is about films, the Who’s Who contains everything you will ever need to know about the players in them. Packed with comprehensive biographical profiles of actors and actresses, directors, producers, editors and other key personnel, as well as notes on the major studios, foreign cinema, cinematic themes and definitions of technical terms, this truly is a unique publication.
This new edition is completely revised and updated and includes more substantial biographies of the stars, a history of the cinema from 1894-1998, lists of Oscar winners and nominations through the years, details of all the major film festival awards, as well as over 1000 new entries on the famous – and not so famous – names in the movie industry.

A must for all film fans!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Halliwell's Who's Who in the Movies (Paperback)
The is a vital referance book for all film buffs. Wether you are an actor looking for a break or you wish to become the next Steven Spielberg this book is a must. And if like myself your just a keen movie fan this book is a facinating look at the business. Lots of detail, this book is a gem.

2.0 out of 5 stars
NOT the companion,
By Dr.R. L. Jacobson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Halliwell's Who's Who in the Movies (Paperback)
Though advertised as a continuation (i.e. 14th Edition)of the "Filmgoers companion" it is only a list of people in the movies. Gone are Halliwell's definitions of movie tradecraft and lists of themes, individual classics and personal notes. A fine actor like Lee J. Cobb gets a single line, while Jayne Mansfield, known more for her off screen antics, gets many more. The quotes from the movie personalities is a nice touch, but when I look up somebodies filmography I do not want to see etc. at the end of an incomplete list.
