At the forefront of the entertainment industries of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were singular actors: Sarah Bernhardt, Gabrielle Réjane, and Mistinguett. Talented and formidable women with global ambitions, these performers forged connections with audiences across the world while pioneering the use of film and theatrics to gain international renown. Transnational Trailblazers of Early Cinema traces how these women emerged from the Parisian periphery to become world-famous stars. Building upon extensive archival research in France, England, and the United States, Victoria Duckett argues that, through intrepid business prowess and the use of early multimedia to cultivate their celebrity image, these three artists strengthened ties between countries, continents, and cultures during pivotal years of change. 410 0$aCinema cultures in contact. 606 $aMotion pictures and transnationalism$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / General$2bisacsh 608 $aFilm criticism.$2lcgft 615 0$aMotion pictures and transnationalism$xHistory 615 7$aPERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / General. 676 $a791.43611 700 $aDuckett$b Victoria, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01126527 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 912 $a996524971003316 996 $aTransnational Trailblazers of Early Cinema$93365755 997 $aUNISA
