Leonard Maltin, IndieWire A follow-up to his 2012 book, 'Hollywood Rides a Bike: Cycling With The Stars,' Rea, a longtime movie critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer, gives 'Hollywood Cafe' the same joyful 'check-this-out!' collector's treatment, using the captions that accompany each image, be they staged publicity stills or candids of actors caffeinating between takes, to offer nuggets of film lore and coffee trivia.
Margy Rochlin, Los Angeles Times You will see Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz drinking coffee as they read the morning papers; Kirk Douglas in a robe and pajamas doing the same. Elizabeth Taylor and Warren Beatty are photographed with cigarettes and cups of java on the set of 'The Only Game in Town' in 1970, as are Yves Montand and Candice Bergen (with an empty cup) from 'Live for Life' in 1968. These are some of the photos of film stars with coffee in outtakes and off screen in this amusing and nostalgic book by the film critic for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Florence Fabricant, Front Burner, The New York Times Abeautiful hardcover photography book featuring a collection of vintage photos unlike any before it. Nearly 200 stars are captured enjoying coffee from the Silent Film Era through the 1980s in the book. Among them: Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Bette David, and more.
