In the 1990s, American civil society got upended and reordered as
many social, cultural, political, and economic institutions were
changed forever. 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. 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 1990s Hollywood and its stars, this collection marks the changes
to stardom and society at century's end.
