Throughout her career, Natalie Wood teetered precariously on the
edge of greatness. Trained in the classical Hollywood studio style,
but best mentored by Method directors, Wood was the ideal actress
for roles depicting shifting perceptions of American womanhood.
Nonetheless, while many of her films are considered classics of
mid-twentieth century American cinema, she is less remembered for
her acting than she is for her mysterious and tragic death. Rebecca
Sullivan's lucid and engaging study of Natalie Wood's career sheds
new light on her enormous, albeit uneven, contributions to American
cinema. This persuasive text argues for renewed appreciation of
Natalie Wood by situating her enigmatic performances in the context
of a transforming star industry and revolutionary, post-war sexual
politics.
