Synopsis
A lucid and engaging study of the enigmatic stardom of Natalie Wood, locating her star persona in the changing production contexts of Hollywood and in the shifting perceptions of female sexuality and agency. This persuasive text seeks to rectify her neglected career by throwing light on her contributions to Hollywood both as an actor and as a star., Throughout her career, Natalie Wood teetered precariously on the edge of greatness. Trained in the classical Hollywood studio style, but best mentored by Method directors, Wood was the ideal actress for roles depicting shifting perceptions of American womanhood. Nonetheless, while many of her films are considered classics of mid-twentieth century American cinema, she is less remembered for her acting than she is for her mysterious and tragic death. Rebecca Sullivan's lucid and engaging study of Natalie Wood's career sheds new light on her enormous, albeit uneven, contributions to American cinema. This persuasive text argues for renewed appreciation of Natalie Wood by situating her enigmatic performances in the context of a transforming star industry and revolutionary, post-war sexual politics.
