It might also have been the most jinxed. Among its stars, James Dean was soon killed in a car crash, Sal Mineo died several years later, murdered by an unknown assailant, and the beautiful Natalie Wood died mysteriously when she fell from a docked pleasure boat and drowned. This heavily illustrated book recounts these and many other tragic events that have haunted the Hollywood movie community from its early-twentieth-century beginnings to the present day. Here are accounts of the sudden, premature deaths of stars like Rudolph Valentino, Montgomery Clift, and Peter Sellers. Here too are stories about celebrities who died young because of alcohol or drug-related problems—John Belushi and Elvis Presley among many others—and of the tragic 1998 murder of comedian Phil Hartman. Car wrecks, plane crashes, and other deadly accidents sent Jayne Mansfield, Grace Kelly, and Carole Lombard, to untimely deaths, and accidents occurring during film production have taken several lives, perhaps the most dramatic being the helicopter crash that killed Vic Morrow in 1983. The tragic stories of many Hollywood personalities are told in Cut!, the definitive volume on the fleeting lives of movie celebrities, some of whom became more famous in death than they had been in life. Hundreds of photos, many in color. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - "Cut" makes the cut........ I bought the book "Cut", not really sure what I was expecting, but looking forward to reading it. I was pleasantly surprised at what I received. There are many, many pages of interesting information and pictures about "stars" and "celebrities" whom I had long forgotten about or had never known existed, and this made it all the more interesting. As well, there was lots of information about well known celebrities and the "how", "where", "when", and sometimes "why" of the event. This book helped ... Read More Rating: - Morbid Reference Book at Bargain Price I found this heavy, handsome volume on the bargain table at the bookstore and decided it would make an interesting reference book for my Hollywood/Movie-themed library. Obviously trying to cash in as a high-brow version of the popular "Hollywood Babylon" sensation, this is an admirable collection of abridged biographies of many Tinseltown notables and their (often untimely and/or tragic) demises. There is even a handy guide to gravesites for tourists compelled to visit the final resting ... Read More Rating: - Informative but not the best This is a huge book with lots of information. Unfortunately if you are looking at more details into the stars' death then this is sort of a dissapointment. It focuses more on the life story of each star instead of their death. But don't get me wrong it is a good book. If you want more morbid details of their deaths etc then Hollywood Babylon is a better choice. Rating: - Comprehensive and fun read I discovered this book at a book store chain but found - of course - a much better price here on Amazon. This book is loaded with succinct but thorough write-ups of every Hollywood celebrity you can imagine who met an untimely death. Macabre but fascinating, it is also loaded to the hilt with photos. Rating: - Overall worthwhile, but with glaring omissions Cut! is a densely illustrated compendium of Hollywood's luminaries whose lives have been touched by tragedy, either in their career or in real life. The subtitle indicates "Hollywood murders, accidents, and other tragedies." The expected appear (Sharon Tate, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, William Desmond Taylor, Thelma Todd, Irving Thalberg) but there are a number of obvious stories missing. There is no Peg Entwhistle, the actress who in 1932 famously flung herself to her death from the "H" in the Hollywoodland ...
