All the Stars in the Heavens
is a work of fiction. While many of the characters herein lived and worked during the Golden Age of Hollywood in and around the movie studios in Los Angeles, California, and some, like Loretta Young and Clark Gable, appeared in films, the scenes, events, moments, and leaps of storytelling exist only in the imagination of the author. Accordingly,
All the Stars in the Heavens
should be read solely as a work of fiction, not as a history or biographical account of the lives of any of the artisans who made movies, including the actors, their agents, bosses, secretaries, or family members. The author's intent was to create a world to enchant and entertain, much like the fictional stories dramatized by the stars on the silver screen in the early days of Hollywood.
