About the Author:
'A lovely little retro read!' HOTHOT Magazine
'I found this book so fascinating that I couldn’t put it down and read it in two sittings.' Catherine, vintage-frills.com
'It’s a real treat to look at and not too heavy on your tummy!' Glamourdaze
Hollywood Diet and Fitness is a fun and quick read, but there is an extensive bibliography and the book is well researched I also loved that I had never seen many of the photos before. So many times we see the same old famous celebrity photographs over and over. Slater did a great job in locating pictures that are not so often seen.’ Lizzie, The Vintage Traveler
'If you want a quick fun overview of the period and a beautifully produced book I would recommend this one.' Charlotte, Ramblings of an Elfpire
Laura Slater is a writer based in London.
