Shining in Shadows examines a wide range of Hollywood icons from a turbulent decade for the film industry and for America itself. Perhaps reflecting our own cultural fragmentation and uncertainty, Hollywood's star personas sent mixed messages about Americans' identities and ideals. Disheveled men-children like Will Ferrell and Jack Black shared the multiplex with debonair old-Hollywood standbys like George Clooney and Morgan Freeman. Iconic roles for women ranged from Renee Zellweger's dithering romantics to Tina Fey's neurotic professionals to Hilary Swank's vulnerable boyish characters. And in this age of reality TV and TMZ, stars like Jennifer Aniston and "Brangelina" became more famous for their real-life romantic dramas-at the same time that former tabloid fixtures like Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. reinvented themselves as dependable leading men. With a multigenerational, international cast of stars, this collection presents a fascinating composite portrait of Hollywood stardom today. 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses -- United States -- Biography. -- Motion picture actors and actresses -- United States -- Biography 606 $aMotion pictures -- Biography -- 19th century 606 $aMotion pictures -- History 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses$zUnited States$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aMotion picture actors and actresses -- United States -- Biography. -- Motion picture actors and actresses -- United States -- Biography. 615 4$aMotion pictures -- Biography -- 19th century. 615 4$aMotion pictures -- History. 615 4$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aMotion picture actors and actresses 676 $a791.4302 676 $a791.43028 676 $a791.430280922 702 $aPomerance$b Murray$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461665403321 996 $aShining in Shadows$92448900 997 $aUNINA
