Produktbeschreibung

Tells the story of the final glory days of the studio system and changing conceptions of stardom, considering such Hollywood icons as Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman alongside such hallmarks of youth culture as Mia Farrow and Dustin Hoffman. Others, like Sidney Poitier and Peter Sellers, took advantage of the developing independent film markets to craft truly groundbreaking screen personae. And some were simply ""famous for being famous"", with celebrities like Zsa Zsa Gabor paving the way for today's reality stars.
