Hollywood rubs elbows with D.C.
Book 'Potomac' recounts history between celebs and U.S. prexys
By TED JOHNSON | Oct. 17, 2009, 3:28pm PT
Not a week goes by without some star stopping by
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue -- the latest being Marc Anthony, George
Lopez and Gloria Estefan, for the Fiesta Latino concert on the White
House lawn last week. But as much as President Obama is embraced
by celebrity -- and vice versa -- the mix is really nothing new. "Hollywood
has always been involved in politics," says
Jason Killian Meath, a media strategist and author of "Hollywood
on the Potomac," a just-released book of photos and history.
The tome, from Arcadia Publishing, details just how close that relationship
has been over the years. READ

A LOVE AFFAIR
By PATRICK GAVIN | 9/7/09 10:00 PM EDT
We hear more and more about how Washington is becoming
a more hip and popular city--and it's true that we see lots of
celebrities coming our way nowadays. To mark the occasion, a new
book is out celebrating the DC-Hollywood connection. Jason Meath's "Hollywood
on the Potomac" is the latest from Arcadia's "Image of
America" series and features more than 200 photographs (including
some never before published) exhibiting politico-celeb co-mingling
from as far back as the Truman administration.

ROLL CALL:
Celebrity and Politics Create a Potent D.C.
Mix
Sept. 15, 2009 | By Casey Hynes, Roll Call
Staff GAVIN
For many people, the election of Barack Obama heralded
a new era of glamour and chic for Washington, D.C. The excitement
of the youthful new commander in chief seemed to inspire a new
connection between the District and Hollywood, as celebrities flocked
to the city for inaugural balls and later the White House Correspondents’
Association Dinner. There’s no doubt the stars have come out in
droves this past year, whether it’s been to stump for a political
candidate or advocate a cause close to their hearts. But a new
book by filmmaker and political strategist Jason Killian Meath
proves that the worlds of celebrity and politics have been colliding
a lot longer than that. “Hollywood on the Potomac” is a collection
of photographs that illustrates those ties, from images of Bill
Clinton greeting Will and Jada Pinkett Smith at the America’s Millennium
Celebration in 1999 to Gerald Ford playing golf with comedians
Jackie Gleason and Bob Hope at a charity tournament. All of the
photos are black and white, even the most recent ones, which enhances
the glamour rather than diminishing it.
