Hollywood Heritage and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Present: Hollywood Royalty, A Family In Films
On Wednesday, December 13th, 2017 at 7:30PM Hollywood Heritage and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will present an evening with actress, screenwriter and author Pat Silver Lasky. We will explore her new book, "Hollywood Royalty: A Family in Film" which offers a visionary account of film pioneer Jesse L. Lasky.
In 1913, Lasky Sr. produced the first full-length feature in Hollywood (filmed in and around the barn) and later founded Paramount Pictures with partners Cecil B. DeMille and Samuel Goldwyn. When his final credits rolled in 1958, Lasky had produced over 1,000 films. His beloved son Jesse Lasky, Jr., a decorated captain in World War II. Became an acclaimed novelist, poet and top Hollywood screenwriter (The Ten Commandments, Samson & Delilah & Union Pacific).
Pat Silver-Lasky (Lasky Jr's collaborator and wife for 30 years) has written a masterful history of the birth and development of Hollywood, intimately revealed in over 400 private letters from father to son. Her insider knowledge creates a uniquely passionate mix of history and biography told with all the drama of a Hollywood blockbuster.
"Hollywood Royalty: A Family in Films" is a rare, personal slice of that history. Ms. Lasky will be signing and selling books on the night of the event. This is an evening not to be missed!
