Goddesses of Hollywood

The actresses from the golden age of cinema take over from Cristina Morató's Rebel Divas and Cursed Queens.

The stories of these four great film stars transport us to the golden age of Hollywood. They had the world at their feet, had a legion of admirers, and starred in notorious romances with the most attractive heartthrobs. True goddesses in the eyes of the public, they were the most desired and photographed women in the world. The temperamental and untameable Ava Gardner, the dazzling sex symbol Rita Hayworth, the elegant and sensual Grace Kelly, or the great diva with violet eyes Elizabeth Taylor made millions of spectators dream. Beyond the luxury and glamour, they were women of flesh and blood, vulnerable, timid, and insecure, who only wished to be loved. But love eluded them, and their lives were marked by loneliness, divorces, addictions, abuse, and disappointments. All paid a high price for reaching the top.

Cristina Morató reveals the most human side of these unforgettable 20th-century stars, protagonists of a life much more intense and dramatic than that of any of the characters they played on the big screen.
