The art of American screen acting : 1960 to today / Dan Callahan Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland & Company Inc,
Call No: 227(73) CALAuthor: Callahan, Dan Edition: 2019Place: Jefferson, North CarolinaPublisher: McFarland & Company IncPhysDes: x,242 pages ; 23cmSubject: ACTING Summary: Modern screen acting in English is dominated by two key figures: Method acting guru Lee Strasberg—who taught the “the art of experiencing” over “the art of representing”—and English theater titan Laurence Olivier, who once said of the Method’s immersive approach, “try acting, it’s so much easier.”
This book explores in detail the work of such method actors as Al Pacino, Ellen Burstyn, Jack Nicholson and Jane Fonda, and charts the shift away from the more internally focused Strasberg-based acting of the 1970s, and towards the more “external” way of working, exemplified by the career of Meryl Streep in the 1980s. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781476676951Contents: Introduction: Method and Meryl -- Jack Nicholson: Dance with the Devil -- Warren Beatty: Take Off Your Clothes -- Al Pacino: Darkness on the Edge of Town -- Dustin Hoffman: Midnight of the Method -- Robert De Niro: Born to Lose -- Harvey Keitel: Body Artist -- Gene Hackman: Keep It Real -- Albert Finney: Married People -- Anthony Hopkins: High, Wide and Handsome -- Daniel ¬Day-Lewis: In Character -- Jeff Bridges: Straight No Chaser -- Nick Nolte: Crucified -- Sean Penn: By Himself -- River Phoenix: Only Once -- Denzel Washington: The Duke in His Domain -- Viggo Mortensen: Set Apart -- Christian Bale: Transparency -- Leonardo DiCaprio: Bad Influence -- Michael Fassbender: Angel Eyes That Old Devil Sent -- Ben Whishaw: Diamond in the Rough -- Jane Fonda: The Search -- Faye Dunaway: Touched to the Quick -- Ellen Burstyn: The Shadow Self -- Gena Rowlands: Love Streams -- Maggie Smith: The Acid Queen -- Julie Christie: Darling -- Glenda Jackson: Tension Clenching -- Diane Keaton: In the Moment -- Sissy Spacek: Down Home -- Debra Winger: Feathers in a Tornado -- Sigourney Weaver: Above It All -- Glenn Close: Command Performances -- Kathleen Turner: Lust for Life -- Alfre Woodard: Wait and See -- Judy Davis: High Anxiety -- Emma Thompson: A Star Danced -- Jennifer Jason Leigh: Hard Knocks -- Julianne Moore: Lying in Wait -- Samantha Morton: Chaos/Control -- Patricia Clarkson: On a Dare -- Conclusion: Chaos Theory -- Bibliography -- Index

The fall and rise of the VCA : The pulse in the arm / Richard Murphet Strawberry Hills, N.S.W.: Currency House, July 2011.
Call No: 52[792] MURAuthor: Murphet, Richard Place: Strawberry Hills, N.S.W.Publisher: Currency HousePubDate: July 2011PhysDes: vii, 72 p. ; 21cmSeries: Platform papers ; no.28Subject: ACTING ; VICTORIAN COLLEGE OF THE ARTS, SCHOOL OF FILM AND TELEVISION Summary: "THE VICTORIAN COLLEGE OF THE ARTS was founded in 1972 to provide education and training in all the visual and performing arts within the one institution. It has remained unique in Australia in that charter. Since 2009, however, it has been headline news as a training institute in crisis, a situation fed by government intervention, public commentary and disputes with the University of Melbourne which now administers it. What financial pressures began has now become a deeper struggle about the nature of arts training in the twenty-first century. This period of crisis, writes Murphet, brought to the school a new vitality and purpose, and raised questions that go way beyond the VCA case alone. As the college begins its restoration, he presents the case for repositioning the VCA as a centre of artistic invention, shifting the debate from the maintenance of past traditions to the creation of a new paradigm in arts training for a world in which instability has become the norm."

This one is neither. In his powerful, angry and passionate book, Kirk Douglas tells the story of his life in his own words, holding back nothing. Born Issur Danielovitch Demsky, the son of an illiterate immigrant Russian-Jewish ragman, in Amsterdam, New York, Douglas paints a searing and unforgettable picture of an almost Dickensian childhood of brutal poverty - the background that has dominated his life as an actor, father and man, fuelling the great creative anger that has added such depth to his performances. With profound and moving insight, he shows how the determination to overcome that childhood and succeed on his own terms led him to take on roles that most stars of his magnitude would never have risked - Van Gogh, in LUST FOR LIFE; Spartacus the slave; the courageous, conscience-stricken Colonel Dax, in PATHS OF GLORY; the agonized boxer Midge, in CHAMPION, to name only a few - and to fight the studios and the Hollywood establishment for the right to control and produce his own movies, long before it was common practice for stars to do so."

Reframing screen performance / Cynthia Baron and Sharon Marie Carnicke Ann Arbor Mich.: University of Michigan Press, c2008.

Surveying the changing attitudes and practices of film acting- from the silent films of Charlie Chaplin to the rise of Lee Strasberg's Actors Studio in the 1950s to the eclecticism found in contemporary cinema - the authors argue that screen acting is a vital component of film and that it can be understood in the same way as theatrical performance. This richly illustrated volume shows how and why the evocative details of actors' voices, gestures, expressions, and actions are as significant as filmic narrative and audiovisual design. The book features in-depth studies of performances by Anjelica Huston, John Cusack, Julianne Moore, and many more actors alongside subtle analyses of directors such as Robert Altman, Akira Kurosawa, Sally Potter, and Orson Welles. The book bridges the disparate fields of cinema studies and theater studies as it persuasively demonstrates how theater theory can illuminate the screen actor's craft." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 277-290) and indexISBN: 9780472050253Contents: Pt.

Within these pages is Bogdanovich on Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, James Cagney, John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Marlene Dietrich, Jack Lemmon, Boris Karloff, Dean Martin, Marilyn Monroe, James Stewart, Frank Sinatra, and many more. With an acute and affectionate eye, Bogdanovich shows us Lillian Gish, the first virginal hearth goddess of the silver screen; Marlon Brando, refusing to play the same from one picture to the next, yet ever recognisable as the great actor, in spite of himself; Jerry Lewis, whose goofy comedy represented the nine-year-old in all of us; and Cary Grant, the epitome of screen elegance, benignly aware that in life even he could never live up to his own legend. Bogdanovich captures brilliantly - in their own words and his - the personality, the work, the style and the enduring iconic appeal of America's movie greats. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780571224319Donation: James Sabine
