About This Book

The story follows an actress whose career in the motion-picture industry intersects with marriage and past attachments; scenes alternate between studio backstage mechanics—directors, camera glare, production tactics—and intimate encounters that reveal rivalries, reconciliations, and compromises. Marriage to a society man strains under the pull of fame and a returned suitor's persistent devotion, while studio pressures test loyalty and selfhood. Vivid studio vignettes illustrate methods of casting, staging, and star-management, and episodes show performers asserting control over their image and fate, negotiating public success and private desire.
