Barry is also mentioned in several places. His wife Beulah was an actress in her own wright, her screen name being Gwynne Shipman. Very good book in like jacket with some wear and chipping to edges of jacket, most of which has been neatly mended with tape on the underside. Spine is faded. On the inside back flap of the jacket under the author blurb, where Walker's films are listed, "Meet John Doe" has been blacked out, assumedly by Walker before presenting this book. He is not credited as having worked on that film. Beautiful piece of Hollywood history. Very Good / Very Good. Item #1360
