Bringing together the best new work on cinema and stardom in the 1920's, this illustrated collection showcases the range of complex social, institutional, and aesthetic issues at work in American cinema of this time. Attentive to stardom as an ensemble of texts, contexts, and social phenomena stretching beyond the cinema, major scholars provide careful analysis of the careers of both well-known and now forgotten stars of the silent and early sound era-Douglas Fairbanks, Buster Keaton, the Talmadge sisters, Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson, Clara Bow, Colleen Moore, Greta Garbo, Anna May Wong, Emil Jannings, Al Jolson, Ernest Morrison, Noble Johnson, Evelyn Preer, Lincoln Perry, and Marie Dressler. 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aActors$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aActresses$zUnited States$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMotion picture actors and actresses 615 0$aActors 615 0$aActresses 676 $a791.4302/80922 676 $aB 700 $aPetro$b Patrice, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$0561175 701 $aPetro$b Patrice$f1957-$0561175 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458269803321 996 $aIdols of modernity$92489263 997 $aUNINA
