Hollywood Without Make-Up is a 1963 American film produced by Ken Murray and directed by Rudy Behlmer, Loring d'Usseau and Ken Murray (uncredited).[ citation needed ] A sequel, Hollywood: My Home Town, was produced in 1965.
The film consists of archive footage of famous Hollywood stars, mostly home movies by Ken Murray, showing the stars as themselves instead of playing a role in front of the camera. William Randolph Hearst and his family are shown at Hearst Castle, including its zoo that included many species of wild animals. Interestingly, the film incorrectly refers to Hearst "conducting business with his secretary." The woman standing next to Hearst in that clip is Julia Morgan in her trademark hat, holding architectural sketches and notes. Ms. Morgan became famous for spending much of her architectural career designing and building Hearst Castle. She had a particular talent for designing swimming pools, with two spectacular examples at Hearst Castle. The filmmakers' daughters went on set with Walt Disney for the shooting of a film. Tom Mix can be seen driving the 1937 Cord 812 Phaeton in which he was killed just two weeks later in Arizona. Candid images are included, such as those of Mary Pickford, Lucille Ball and Rory Calhoun. The film ends with images of Marilyn Monroe.
