商品簡介
Arguing that the study of the film actress has largely been ignored, Hollinger (film and literature, Armstrong Atlantic State U.) examines the contemporary actress as both an artist and an ideological construct. She first considers the study of film acting, stardom and star studies, star acting and the Hollywood actress and associated problems with studying the topics, and then provides case studies of Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Jodie Foster, Angela Bassett, and Gwyneth Paltrow through the intertextual approach of star studies, which analyzes their career, image, comments on their craft, and ideological significance of their personas. Her aim is to find out what they reveal about Hollywood female acting and stardom. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
