Hollywood Heat

As a member of Hollywood royalty ‚ his dad was film director Roy Rowland, his uncle MGM-founder Louis B. Mayer ‚ and a writer of 50s fanzine, Hollywood Heat, Steve Rowland is in an ideal position to kiss and tell about the movie legends of the 1950s, his friends and neighbours in Beverly Hills.

As an actor with credits in a dozen classic 1950s pictures and many great TV Westerns, Steve worked alongside many of the huge movie stars of the time. But he was also a teenage gossip columnist with an insider's access to all that was most hot and happening in Hollywood's golden age. Hollywood Heat contains untold stories about Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando - the kind of stories that only an insider would know.

Written in a dry and entertaining style similar to Raymond Chandler, Steve tells of starlets and fast cars, racing his white Corvette with friends James Dean and Steve McQueen, and movie gossip. Classic and cool!
