From Shtetl to Stardom: Jews and Hollywood takes an exciting and innovative approach to this rich and complex material. Exploring the subject from a scholarly perspective as well as up close and personal, the book combines historical and theoretical analysis by leading academics in the field with inside information from prominent entertainment professionals. Essays range from Vincent Brook's survey of the stubbornly persistent canard of Jewish industry "control" to Lawrence Baron and Joel Rosenberg's panel presentations on the recent brouhaha over Ben Urwand's book alleging collaboration between Hollywood and Hitler. Case studies by Howard Rodman and Joshua Louis Moss examine a key Coen brothers film, A Serious Man (Rodman), and Jill Soloway's groundbreaking television series, Transparent (Moss). Jeffrey Shandler and Shaina Hamermann train their respective lenses on popular satirical comedians of yesteryear (Allan Sherman) and those currently all the rage (Amy Schumer, Lena Dunham, and Sarah Silverman). David Isaacs relates his years of agony and hilarity in the television comedy writers' room, and interviews include in-depth discussions by Ross Melnick with Laemmle Theatres owner Greg Laemmle (relative of Universal Studios founder Carl Laemmle) and by Michael Renov with Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner. In all, From Shtetl to Stardom offers a uniquely multifaceted, multimediated, and up-to-the-minute account of the remarkable role Jews have played in American movie and TV culture. 410 0$aJewish role in American life ;$vv. 14. 606 $aTelevision broadcasting$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory 606 $aMotion picture industry$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory 606 $aJews in television broadcasting$zUnited States 606 $aJews in the motion picture industry$zUnited States 607 $aHollywood (Los Angeles, Calif.)$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$xJewish influences 610 $aHistory 610 $aAmerican Jews 610 $aJews 610 $aJudaism 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting$xHistory. 615 0$aMotion picture industry$xHistory. 615 4$aJews in television broadcasting 615 0$aJews in the motion picture industry 676 $a791.430233092279494 700 $aRenov$b Michael$4auth$01431296 702 $aAnsell$b Lisa 702 $aBrook$b Vincent$f1946- 702 $aRenov$b Michael$f1950- 702 $aRoss$b Steven J$g(Steven Joseph), 712 02$aUSC Casden Institute for the Study of the Jewish Role in American Life, 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910169181603321 996 $aFrom Shtetl to Stardom$93573554 997 $aUNINA
