Lesbian characters, stories, and images were barred from onscreen depiction in Hollywood films from the1930s to the 1960s, together with all forms of "sex perversion." Looking at the lureof some of the great female stars and at the visual coding of supporting actresses, the book identifies lesbian spectatorial strategies.
