By Gary Koca

Forgotten Movie Stars of the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s provides information on 25 leading motion picture stars of the 1930’s, 40’s, and 50’s who were relatively big stars in their heyday but are virtually unknown today to anyone under the age of 45. Fans of classic films from the Golden Age of Hollywood will have fond memories of these stars.
