This book examines the integral role that makeup plays in the construction and promotion of female stardom, focusing on the transitional Hollywood period, between 1950 and 1970, a time of great change in Hollywood with the advent of television, the break-up of the studios and the break-down of the production code. Cathy Lomax's compelling study features in-depth case studies of stars Vivien Leigh, Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood, Dorothy Dandridge and Joan Crawford alongside archival images of make-up promotional material and the make up used by stars and their fans to interrogate the role of makeup in defining and adjusting the appearance of race, beauty, ageing, naturalness, and sexual appeal in the star image. Makeup is a vital technical material in film and photography; correcting skin-tones for different film stocks and making features visible under bright lights. But it is also a component of a film's mise-en-scene, intrinsically linked to the visual allure of cinema and helps to shape and refine the female star image, both on- and off-screen. Lomax's case studies show how makeup was used to create female figures such as the femme fatale played by Marilyn Monroe in Niagara (1953); how in various roles Natalie Wood's makeup was used to suggest a youthful, natural and openly sexual young woman, or, when as a white actress she was cast in 'ethnic' roles, to create an impression of a Hispanic, Native American or Black identity; how Dorothy Dandridge's light skin challenged codes around inter-racial relationships, with the result that her skin was darkened for love scenes with Black actors, and how the transition to colour impacted Joan Crawford's star persona as she aged, and how ideas about the grotesque nature of female ageing were represented in the 1960s cycle of 'hag horror' movies such as 1962's Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Drawing on film studies, feminist debates on masquerade theory, celebrity studies and fashion and cultural studies, alongside information from biographies, fan magazines, archives, and practical experience from her own work as a makeup artist, Lomax reveals the vital and under-examined role that makeup plays in the display of femininity on film, and how this is exemplified through the construction of individuated stardom. By making visible a material, that because of its connection with feminine adornment has been overlooked or disregarded, this book highlights undervalued labour, and foregrounds the female agency that was articulated by the design and application of makeup.

How Night of the Living Dead Saved My Life and Changed the World

Magic Rays of Light is an original and ambitious history of the largely unknown early years of television in Britain. A detailed cultural study of the first demonstrations, of the extensive experimental broadcasts between 1928 and 1935, and of the BBC's richly varied daily service starting in November 1936 from Alexandra Palace, the book overturns the popular mis-conception that television in Britain effectively began with Elizabeth II's Coronation in 1953. In tracing this history, John Wyver chronicles the process by which a technology became a medium. He argues that much of what that television as we knew it in the late twentieth century was created within the fluid and at times unstable forms of the interwar medium. Most fundamentally the basics of television's screen language and grammar were developed. As this emerged, television drama flourished in the staging of more than 400 plays, from Shakespeare and Agatha Christie to Pirandello and P.G. Wodehouse, starring luminaries including Laurence Olivier, Sybil Thorndike and Peggy Ashcroft. Outside broadcasts of state occasions, and of Wimbledon and Test matches, were pioneered, along with transmissions of the Derby (from 1931 onwards) and the FA Cup Final. Light entertainment formats, quiz shows and the direct ancestor of countless magazine programmes were devised, alongside ambitious presentations of classical ballet and grand opera. As a striking counterpoint to this story, Magic Rays of Light also celebrates the inchoate, indeterminate nature of interwar television. In certain key ways, from the first imaginaries and sci-fi visions of television, and in aspects of how it was made, of what was produced and how this was seen, early television was entirely distinct from what the medium later became. The book reveals television's forgotten pasts and unrealised futures, including the low resolution, vertical format transmissions of John Logie Baird's first systems, and the live, large-screen electronic projection systems known as 'cinema television'. Relaying sports events and pageantry to cinemas, this pre-war sensation was seen by the BBC as a serious threat to its monopoly. By attending closely to the transmissions of the first fifteen years, to the emerging medium's industrial context, and to its intermedial links with radio, theatre, cinema, music hall, sport and more, Magic Rays of Light illuminates television's place in the cultural and social histories of Britain between the wars.
