Location Filming in Arizona: The Screen Legacy of the Grand Canyon State by Lili Debarbieri

The scenic natural vistas of Arizona's deserts and mountains have made it a favorite backdrop of movies and television shows. Westerns such as silent-era pictures derived from Zane Grey fiction through the John Ford-John Wayne classics Stagecoach and The Searchers benefited from the beautiful and rugged landscapes. TV classics such as Gunsmoke and Little House on the Prairie helped define Arizona's allure for Hollywood. Oscar winners Jerry Maguire and Little Miss Sunshine took advantage of the infrastructure that accumulated to lure filmmakers to Tucson, Yuma, Phoenix, Prescott, Sedona and all corners of the Grand Canyon State. Join author Lili DeBarbieri as she looks at the movies and shows shot in the state, as well as other aspects of Arizona film culture.

Lili DeBarbieri is a travel specialist, librarian, and nonfiction author. Her work has appeared in a variety of journals, including the Utah Prairie Dog, and she is an excellent and varied writer.

She was born in Philadelphia and now lives in Tucson, where she works as a grants panelist for the Arizona Commission for the Arts. This is the third book she has written.
