Together, these essays question assumptions that an actor's ability to project an enduring image-both symbolic and physical-is necessary for box-office success, demonstrating instead that disruptions often shape and direct the star image. Contributors in this collection examine a wide range of stars from the last seventy years. Some essays deal with actors who have transformed temporarily for a role, or permanently, through aging or accident, such as Joaquin Phoenix, Daniel Day-Lewis, Mickey Rourke, Charlize Theron, and Hilary Swank. Other essays consider stars' attempts to conceal aspects of themselves from the public in order to maintain a palatable public image, including Rita Hayworth, Rock Hudson, and Michael Jackson. Some explore typecasting and audience expectations, noting how struggles with marriage, divorce, and aging intersect in the images of Natalie Wood, Marilyn Monroe, and Harrison Ford. A final set considers Sissy Spacek, Julia Roberts, and Halle Berry as women who reconfigure negative press and restrictive gender and racial expectations to their advantage, managing public perceptions of suffering in ways that flummox their critics"--Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Motion picture actors and actresses $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Fame $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 7 $a Fame $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920130 650 7 $a Motion picture actors and actresses. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027096 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Bell-Metereau, Rebecca Louise, $e editor. $e editor. 700 1 $a Glenn, Colleen, $e editor. $e editor. 700 1 $a Martin, Nina K., $d 1967- $e author. 830 0 $a Contemporary approaches to film and media series. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180103035519.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161006024458.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F83E64F8ECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
