This reference helps readers navigate the perilous odyssey those of
an LGBTQ orientation had to face in an age less enlightened than
our own, when an attraction to members of the same gender could
lead to horrendous abuse. Just as American society has changed
dramatically from decade to decade, so has queer cinema. Taking us
from a time when LGBTQ characters were often represented as either
caricatures or figures of farce, this lively yet authoritative
reference explores the sea change ushered in by such stars as Greta
Garbo and Marlene Dietrich in the 1930s and '40s, androgynous
figures such as Montgomery Clift, James Dean, and Marlon Brando in
the '50s, and closeted gay men such as Rock Hudson and Liberace,
whose double lives were exposed by the scourge of AIDS. Included
are alphabetically arranged entries on stars, directors, films,
themes, and other topics related to queer cinema in America,
including films and persons from outside the U.S. who nonetheless
figured prominently in America popular culture. Entries cite works
for further reading, sidebars provide snippets of interesting
trivia, a timeline highlights key events, and a selected, general,
end-of-work bibliography cites the most important major works on
the topic. A timeline highlights key events in LGBTQ cinema
history. An introduction overviews the history of queer cinema in
America. Alphabetically arranged reference entries provide
fundamental and critical information about films, directors,
actors, themes, and other topics related to queer cinema in
America. Fascinating anecdotes bring LGBTQ cinema history to life.
Sidebars provide interesting trivia. Entry bibliographies direct
readers to additional sources of information.
