Overview
A former editor of the prestigious British film magazine Sight & Sound, Lambert arrived in Hollywood in the mid 1950s as director Nicholas Ray's assistant. From then on, he devoted much of his life crafting what one book reviewer called \"elegant, elegiac, arch fictions about his adopted home, Hollywood.\" Kevin Thomas, The Times' veteran film writer, said Lambert \"was tremendously knowledgeable about Hollywood people and history, and very perceptive, very insightful and very comprehensive. I consider him a big loss as someone who I think had a real understanding of Hollywood's legacy and how Hollywood has worked.\" [Gavin Lambert]: Also an author, Lambert wrote the novel \"Inside Daisy Clover\" and biographies of actresses [Norma Shearer] and [Natalie Wood].
