An illustrated guide to the world's greatest screen actresses features more than 250 portraits accompanied by a concise assessment of each actress's career, from the great stars of the silent era to the present day
This is a collection of studio pictures - stills, portraits and staged "off-set" publicity photographs - which celebrate exotic matinee idols of the silent era such as Rudolph Valentino, through to today's international superstars, including Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford. The complementary text encapsulates each star's special appeal and looks at how perceptions of the male hero have changed over the last 80 years.
