Fernande Olivier, Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Therese Walter, Dora Maar, Francoise Gilot, and Jacqueline Roque. These six extraordinary women shared Pablo Picasso’s life and were instrumental in his career, yet they have long been dismissed as simply passive models or muses. This title reveals that their lives were – without exception – remarkable. All six were unconventional, independent and talented. All six were tested, both by Picasso’s subterfuges and betrayals, and the wider social turbulence they lived through. The extent to which each influenced Picasso’s art in major new directions has never been fully acknowledged. Sue Roe delves deeply into the truth of the women’s experiences to tell the story of Picasso’s women from their point of view.

Coppola – The Godfather. Spielberg – Jaws. Lucas – Star Wars. This is story of the most successful group of friends in the history of cinema and how they reshaped it forever. ‘The Last Kings of Hollywood’ tells the thrilling, dramatic inside story of how the three filmmakers rivalled and supported each other, fell out and reconciled, and struggled to reinvent popular American cinema. Along the way, Coppola directed The Godfather, then the highest-grossing film of all-time, until Spielberg surpassed it with Jaws – whose record Lucas broke with Star Wars, which Spielberg surpassed again with E.T. By the early 1980s, they were the richest, best-known filmmakers in the world, each with an empire of their own. ‘The Last Kings of Hollywood’ chronicles their rise, their dreams and demons, their triumphs and their failures.
