the star system Explanation: Yes, your memory serves you right! It's a throw back to Hollywood. http://www.columbia.edu/cu/cup/catalog/data/190336/190336402... The Star System Hollywood´s Production of Popular Identities Paul McDonald "A very good introduction to the topic filling an existing gap in the needs of teachers and students of the subject."–Roberta Pearson, University of Wales, Cardiff "There is no book out there that does as much to update Richard Dyers classic account."–Jane Gaines, Duke University The Star System: Hollywood´ s Production of Popular Identities looks at the development and changing organization of the star system in the American film industry. Tracing the popularity of star performers from the early "cinema of attractions" to the Internet universe, Paul McDonald explores the ways in which Hollywood has made and sold its stars. Through focusing on particular historical periods, cases studies of Mary Pickford, Bette Davis, James Cagney, Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise, and Will Smith illustrate the key conditions influencing the star system in silent cinema, the studio era and the New Hollywood.
