Pretty People examines a wide range of Hollywood icons who reflect how stardom in that decade was transformed as the nation itself was signaling significant changes to familiar ideas about gender, race, ethnicity, age, class, sexuality, and nationality. Such actors as Denzel Washington, Andy Garcia, Halle Berry, Angela Bassett, Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez, and Antonio Banderas became bona fide movie stars who carried major films to amazing box-office success. Five of the decade?s top ten films were opened by three women?Julia Roberts, Jodie Foster, and Whoopi Goldberg. ?Chick flick? entered the lexicon as Leonardo DiCaprio became the ?King of the World,? ushering in the cult of the mega celebrity. Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise defined screen masculinity as stark contrasts between ?the regular guy? and ?the intense guy? while the roles of Michael Douglas exemplified the endangered ?Average White Male.? A fascinating composite portrait of 1990's Hollywood and its stars, this collection marks the changes to stardom and society at century?s end. 410 0$aStar decades: American culture/American cinema. 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMotion picture actors and actresses 615 0$aMotion picture actors and actresses 676 $a791.4302/80922 701 $aEverett$b Anna$f1954-$01056765 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461650503321 996 $aPretty people$92491376 997 $aUNINA
