Weary from the turbulent sixties, America entered the 1970s hoping
for calm. Instead, the war in Vietnam and its troubled aftermath
persisted, the Watergate scandal unfolded, and continuing social
unrest at home and abroad provided the backdrop for the new decade.
The scene was similar in Hollywood, as it experienced greater
upheaval than at any point since the coming of sound. As the studio
and star systems declined, actors had more power than ever, and
because many had become fiercely politicized by the temper of the
times, the movies they made were often more challenging than
before. Thus, just when it might have faded out, Hollywood was
reborn--but what was the nature of this rebirth?
"Hollywood Reborn" examines this question, with contributors
focusing on many of the era's key figures--noteworthy actors such
as Jane Fonda, Al Pacino, Faye Dunaway, and Warren Beatty, and
unexpected artists, among them Donald Sutherland, Shelley Winters,
and Divine. Each essay offers new perspectives through the lens of
an important star, illuminating in the process some of the most
fascinating and provocative films of the decade.
