American culture changed radically over the course of the 1960s,
and the culture of Hollywood was no exception. The film industry
began the decade confidently churning out epic spectacles and
lavish musicals, but became flummoxed as new aesthetics and modes
of production emerged, and low-budget youth pictures like "Easy
Rider "became commercial hits.
"New Constellations: Movie Stars of the 1960s" tells the story of
the final glory days of the studio system and changing conceptions
of stardom, considering such Hollywood icons as Elizabeth Taylor
and Paul Newman alongside such hallmarks of youth culture as Mia
Farrow and Dustin Hoffman. Others, like Sidney Poitier and Peter
Sellers, took advantage of the developing independent and
international film markets to craft truly groundbreaking screen
personae. And some were simply "famous for being famous," with
celebrities like Zsa Zsa Gabor and Edie Sedgwick paving the way for
today's reality stars.
