Hollywood Cats showcases an incredible selection of photographs, taken during the golden age of Hollywood, of stars with their cats, celebrating and documenting this special relationship. Both Carole Lombard and Greer Garson manage to look even more sultry draped alongside their feline friends; photographs of madcap duo Laurel and Hardy playing with a kitten are both comical and endearing. Perhaps the most famous and arguably the most important of all Hollywood cats is the MGM lion, Leo, who appeared (and still appears) on every MGM movie. The newly released coffee-table book Hollywood Cats: Photographs From the John Kobal Foundation features more than 100 hundred stunning photographs of the biggest celebrities from the golden age of Hollywood, including Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, Kim Novak, Dirk Bogarde, Jayne Mansfield and more, cuddling up to their feline companions. (Lindsay Putnam New York Post, October 29, 2014 ) An incredible collection of one of a kind photos of the Hollywood movie stars and starlets of yesteryear. How can you not crack a smile seeing Mary Pickford with a kitty perched on her shoulder or a Walt Disney amusingly holding a framed image of Mickey Mouse next to a cat? Looking through these photos is like taking a trip back in time to a different era of the movie biz and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. (Nick Lyons, DVD Corner November 29, 2014 ) Hollywood Cats, however, is not just a record of those feline friends that found themselves in-front of a movie camera—it also provides a glimpse of the stars with some of their adored pets. (Gareth Abbott Biography, December 2, 2014 ) The cuddly compilation of vintage photography from the Golden Age of Hollywood features stars, including Elizabeth Taylor, Ava Gardner, Carole Lombard and Cary Grant, with the nameless strays who ruled the studios, as well as more celebrated cats such as MGM's famous lion, Leo.
