Despite the recent explosion of scholarly interest in "star
studies," Brazilian film has received comparatively little
attention. As this volume demonstrates, however, the richness of
Brazilian stardom extends well beyond the ubiquitous Carmen
Miranda. Among the studies assembled here are fascinating
explorations of figures such as Eliane Lage (the star attraction of
Sao Paulo's Vera Cruz studios), cult horror movie auteur Coffin
Joe, and Lazaro Ramos, the most visible Afro-Brazilian actor today.
At the same time, contributors interrogate the inner workings of
the star system in Brazil, from the pioneering efforts of
silent-era actresses to the recent advent of the non-professional
movie star.
