Call No: 465.1 DYE Author: Dyer, Richard Edition: second edition Source: UK Place: London Publisher: Routledge PubDate: 2004 PhysDes: 210 p. ; 24 cm Subject: SEX IN FILMS; STARS; BLACKS AND THE CINEMA. US; BLACKS IN FILMS; RACIAL STEREOTYPES IN FILMS; MONROE, MARILYN; ROBESON, PAUL; GARLAND, JUDY Summary: Focusing on the lives and careers of three of the biggest names in Hollywood history – Marilyn Monroe, Paul Robeson and Judy Garland – Dyer details how their screen image was constructed. Through subtle readings of their films and wealth of background material, he goes on to survey the development of each star’s image in relation to particular social groups. Monroe is discussed in the context of 1950s sexuality and the image of woman; Robeson in terms of black identity and different white and black perceptions of it; and Garland as a gay icon. All three are set in the wider context of the social significance of the very idea of stardom. ISBN: 041531027X More info
