"The Actress: Hollywood Acting and the Female Star" investigates
the contemporary film actress both as an artist and as an
ideological construct. Divided into two sections, "The Actress"
first examines the major issues in studying film acting, stardom,
and the Hollywood actress. Part Two examines five case studies:
Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Jodie Foster, Angela Basset, and
Gwyneth Paltrow, each of whose careers exemplify key issues in the
creation of film stardom, the function of acting style, and the
creation of celebrity.
Combining theories of screen acting and of film stardom, "The
Actress" presents a synthesis of methodologies and offers the
student and scholar a new approach to these two subjects of
study.
Throughout the book, Hollinger emphasizes the craft of acting, a
dimension of the subject often given less attention than other
elements in the study of female stardom.
