by Entertainment Weekly, Cynthia Grisolia (Editor)

As 1999 came to a close and a new century began, these were the celebrities who stood apart from the rest, the ones who helped shape the last five decades into an era of matchless entertainment. This is Entertianment Weekly's choice for the top 100. From Marlon Brando to the Beatles, from Julia Roberts to Jerry Seinfeld, Entertainment Weekly's 100 Greatest Entertainers 1950-2000 celebrates the stars who defined pop culture post- World War II- just as television and rock and roll were beginning to captivate the country. These are the matinee idols, the musical geniuses, and the industry trailblazers whose artistry and talents have made them the most fascinating personalities of our time.

Just enough career highlights of each chosen artist/entertainer, a nice selection covering music, actors, directors, writers, and everything entertainment should be, as well as a journalist-styled text - I will take it.
Only wish it would be longer, including some entertainers that, in my opinion, deserved to be selected and maybe adding a more international (that is, not so USA/Europe-centered) pick - there was a sad attempt of that in the middle of the book, but rather emphasized the lack of international representation more than made up for it.

While I don't agree with all of their pics I am a pop culture junkie and love the photogs in this book.
