Date Sold 8/14/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Vintage Softcover Studio Book (measures 6 1/4" x 9 1/4" [16 x 23 cm]; 119 pages) (Learn More) Who's Who at Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer, the 1939 book from MGM that served as a complete guide to their actors (divided into "stars" and "featured players") and directors. At this time, MGM was the number one studio in Hollywood, and they were justifiably proud of their incredible line-up of actors and directors, so they created this yearbook ("A Reference Book from Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures"), where each actor received a 1-page biography with their image, and the same was done for the directors as well. Note that we have seen these yearbooks, one from 1937, 1938, 1939, and 1944. There may well have been other years as well (one would think there were surely ones from 1940 to 1943, but who knows for sure?). If anyone knows more about these, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned this book once before! In the 1930s and 1940s, MGM had the greatest lineup of stars, so once a year they made this "Who's Who" softcover studio book to promote how great their lineup of stars (and directors) was! We have seen yearbooks like this from years between 1937 and 1944, and there may have been others! Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Condition: very good. The covers have slight darkening around the edges in the blank areas and some minor border wear (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
