Picture Personalities: The Emergence of the Star System in America

Rating:
Summary: Fascinating look at the phenomenon of movie star celebrity
Review: I knew the late Richard Decordova when we were kids. I lost touch with him after high school, and was intrigued to find out years later that he had become a college professor in the field of movies, film-making, etc. This book is a fascinating peek at the concept of stardom in America.
