This encyclopedia covers American celebrity culture from 1950 to 2008, examining its various aspects-and its impact-through 86 entries by 30 expert contributors. Demonstrating that all celebrities are famous, but not all famous people are celebrities, the book cuts across the various entertainment medias and their legions of individual "stars." It looks at sports celebrities and examines the role of celebrity in more serious pursuits and institutions such as the news media, corporations, politics, the arts, medicine, and the law. Also included are entries devoted to such topics as paranoia and celebrity, one-name celebrities, celebrity nicknames, family unit celebrity, sidekick celebrities, and even criminal celebrities.Popular cultureUnited StatesEncyclopediasCelebritiesUnited StatesEncyclopediasCelebrities in mass mediaEncyclopediasMass mediaSocial aspectsUnited StatesEncyclopediasFameSocial aspectsUnited StatesEncyclopediasUnited StatesCivilization1970-EncyclopediasUnited StatesSocial life and customs1971-EncyclopediasElectronic books.Popular cultureCelebritiesCelebrities in mass mediaMass mediaSocial aspectsFameSocial aspects302.230862/1Riley Sam G.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456375903321Star struck2278978UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
