From one of our most distinguished film scholars, comes a rich,
penetrating, amusing book about the golden age of movies and how
the studios worked to manufacture stars.
With revelatory insights and delightful asides, Jeanine Basinger
shows us how the studio "star machine" worked when it worked, how
it failed when it didn't, and how irrelevant it could sometimes be.
She gives us case studies focusing on big stars groomed into the
system: the "awesomely beautiful" (and disillusioned) Tyrone Power;
the seductive, disobedient Lana Turner; and a dazzling cast of
others. She anatomizes their careers, showing how their fame
happened, and what happened to them as a result. Deeply engrossing,
full of energy, wit, and wisdom, The Star Machine is destined to
become an classic of the film canon.
