Thus Paramount Pictures was thought to be the haven of sophistication, style and subtlety, its actresses the epitome of wit, intelligence and beauty. In this magnificently illustrated salute to Paramount, movie historian James Robert Parish has selected 16 of the most striking and renowned of Paramount's actresses to illustrate the studio's personality. The result is The Paramount Pretties, at once a fascinating display of 50 years of film making - ranging from Male and Female (1919) to Sweet Charity (1968) - and an eye-opening mirror of the changing tastes of the American filmgoer . . . and film maker. Here are the queens of the Paramount lot, each ruling in turn as the American scene shifts from Prohibition, Depression, New Deal and World War II to the Cold War, Korea and the Sixties - each actress reflecting the dreams and the character of the era . . . as seen by Paramount. Over 350 photographs salt-and-pepper the complete filmographies and up-to-date biographies of these 16 ladies of the silver screen: . GLORIA SWANSON. Grand sophisticate with a flair for comedy .
