AUSTRALIA; HISTORY OF CINEMA. SILENT PERIOD; ACTORS. AUSTRALIA Summary: J.P. McGowan (1880-1952) was one of Hollywood’s most prolific pioneers: actor, director, screenwriter, producer and industrial advocate for the motion picture industry. Known as the “Railroad Man” for his specialization in action movies involving railroads, he made common the image of the terrified beauty tied to a track – his first wife was Helen Holmes, of his iconic silent series The Hazards of Helen. This work, the first biography of the Australian-born adventurer, covers a screen career spanning 30 years and over 600 productions from the dawn of the silent era. It chronicles his entire life and places him within the context of the times in which he lived and worked. Previously unknown details are unearthed on his family background and early life, as well as his participation in the Boer War and his move to the United States. The work concludes with a comprehensive filmography of McGowan’s work. [Taken from back cover]. ISBN: 0786419946 More info

In this enthralling account of Kidman's career, Pam Cook traces her journey from Australian actress to global superstar, looking at her persona across a variety of forms: film and television, fashion, commercials, charity work and the internet. Pam Cook's analysis of Kidman's performance in key films such as Dead Calm (1989), To Die For (1995), Eyes Wide Shut (1999) and The Hours (2002) reveals her development of an 'actorly' style that enables her to combine celebrity with award winning-roles. Cook explores the intricate media networks that circulate Kidman's image and story , assessing the contribution of her Australian identity to her personal brand, the Botox controversy, her recent move into production, and her cultural impact. This absorbing case study unveils a star narrative as compelling as any of those in Kidman's films.

AUSTRALIA; TAYLOR, ROD Summary: "For over 20 years Rod Taylor was the biggest Australian movie name in Hollywood, starring in such films as The Time Machine, The Birds, and The VIPs. Best known for his action roles, he was equally adept at romantic comedies and dramas, working with the A-list of the 60s and 70s: Doris Day, John Wayne, Hitchcock, Elizabeth Taylor, Disney, Jane Fonda, Antonioni - and many more. At a time when Australians could rarely see or hear themselves on screen, Rod Taylor helped keep his country in the public eye, and paved the way for Aussie actors who followed him. Rod Taylor: An Aussie in Hollywood is the first full-length biography of this pioneering Australian film star. It's the thrilling story of a working-class Sydney boy who went to Hollywood, took on the Americans at their own game on their own turf in one of the toughest industries there is and won. It's also the story of a talented actor who was almost brought down by the demons of alcohol and ego, but who ultimately overcame them to triumph. A must for all Rod Taylor fans.

AUSTRALIA; EFFTEE STUDIO; THRING, FRANK; THRING, F.W. [Francis William, 1883-1936] Summary: "They shared a name, of course, and their physical resemblance was startling. And both Frank Thrings were huge figures in the landscape of twentieth-century Australian theatre and film. But in many ways they could hardly have been more different. Frank Thring the father (1882-1936) began his career as a sideshow conjuror, and he wheeled, dealed and occasionally married his way into becoming the legendary 'F.T' - impresario, speculator and owner of Efftee Films, Australia's first 'talkies' studio. He built for himself an image of grand patriarchal respectability, a sizeable fortune, and all the makings of a dynasty. Frank Thring the son (1926-1994) squandered the fortune and derailed the dynasty in the course of creating his own persona - a unique presence that could make most stages and foyers seem small. He won fame playing tyrants in togas in Hollywood blockbusters, then, suddenly, came home to Melbourne to play perhaps his finest role - that of Frank Thring, actor and personality extraordinaire. Central to this role was that Frank the son was unapologetically and outrageously gay. Peter Fitzpatrick's compelling dual biography tells the story of two remarkable characters. It's a kind of detective story, following the tracks of two men who did all they could to cover their tracks, and to conceal 'the self' : Frank the father used secrecy and sleight-of-hand as strategies for self-protection; Frank the son masked a thoroughly reclusive personality with flamboyant self-parody. It's also the tale of a lost relationship - and of the power a father may have had, even over a son who hardly knew him." -- BOOK JACKET Notes: Includes index; Includes bibliographical references and index; Also available online ISBN: 9781921867248 Contents: -- acknowledgments -- author's note -- part one: Frank the father -- this man's father -- the great dexter -- the operator -- the general manager -- the speculator -- the impresario -- the legacy -- part two: Frank the son -- the succession -- he that plays the Thring -- these foolish Thrings -- return of the prodigal -- Frankly Thring -- a Thring of shreds and patches -- my father's son -- Efftee Filmography -- Index -- More info
