Text of Note

Cinema's glamor has always been inseparable from star performances and star images. Through the intensive examination of films, magazines, and advertising, as well as critical texts, Richard Dyer analyzes the historical, ideological, and aesthetic significance of stars, changing the way we understand screen icons. He pays particular attention to Marlon Brando, Bette Davis, Marlene Dietrich, Jane Fonda, Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, Robert Redford, and John Wayne
