BETTY HUTTON In Retrospect Michael H Mayer

Betty Hutton was a brassy and boisterous performer with boundless energy that lit up the screen and went far in making her Paramount's most valuable female star of the 1940s. Known as the Blonde Bombshell because of her bombastic style and personality, Bob Hope once referred to her as "a vitamin pill with legs." Although primarily a musical performer who made numerous hit recordings, in the acting department Hutton possessed a natural comedic talent, but could nonetheless turn in a truly credible dramatic performance with strong direction. In her heyday, she was not only a major recording artist (at Capitol Records), but also one of the most popular film stars in the world. This new book of Betty Hutton memorabilia includes 135 pages of both color and B& W photos, letters and certificates, along with informative text.
