Produktbeschreibung

Examines a wide range of Hollywood icons from a turbulent decade for the film industry and for America itself. Perhaps reflecting America's cultural fragmentation and uncertainty, Hollywood's star personas sent mixed messages about Americans' identities and ideals. With a multigenerational, international cast of stars, this collection presents a fascinating composite portrait of Hollywood stardom today.
