New Book Tells the Story of the Man Who Put Hollywood on the Map
El Dorado Hills, Calif. (PRWEB) December 6, 2007 -- In her new book, The Father of Hollywood: The True Story, author Gaelyn Whitley Keith reveals the true life story of the man who put Hollywood on the map.
From the earliest silent films made by pioneering American filmmakers to the multimillion-dollar blockbusters of today, the movie industry of America has always had a home: Hollywood. But how did Hollywood itself get started? Hobart Johnstone Whitley, the subject of Gaelyn Whitley Keith's new book, is to Hollywood what Bill Hewlett and David Packard are to Silicon Valley. He was the futuristic businessman who built the infrastructure of a worldwide industry, but only received a fraction of the credit. The celebrated city of Hollywood and its established place as the film capital of the world can be attributed to the vision and genius of Whitley, often described as the "Father of Hollywood."
Whitley was a central figure in attracting and keeping the talent needed to make Hollywood and the movie business successful, and in turn, he was responsible for transforming a formerly sleepy part of California into a hugely profitable and exciting destination boasting the world's biggest stars.
Today's movie buffs will enjoy reading about the well-known actresses and actors of early Hollywood that grace the pages of Keith's book. However, the allure of The Father of Hollywood goes far beyond the glitter of stardom to big business and the risk that people like Whitley took to make the movie industry a success. Film lovers, city planners, sociologists or anyone in search of a good read will find it all in The Father of Hollywood: The True Story.
