Recenzii
Becoming Carole Lombard is long overdue - through detailed archival research and thoughtful textual analysis of Lombard's films, Olympia Kiriakou provides the first academic study dedicated solely to Lombard, and illuminates the actress's versatile acting range, twentieth century proto-feminism, and Hollywood legacy.
A riveting, insightful, meticulously researched, and highly enjoyable book about an essential Hollywood film star, Becoming Carole Lombard proves that Lombard was much more than just 'the Screwball Girl.' Olympia Kiriakou traces Lombard's shape-shifting star persona across diverse screen genres, revealing the profound historiographic value of her tragically curtailed career for feminist film theory, comedy and performance studies, and the history of American film culture.
