Who Am I? August Birthdays © Goldencarers.Com Page 1 of 18 Happy Birthday! 17th August 1920 I grew up in Dublin and aspired to be an actress from a young age. Charles Laughton (English actor) saw potential in me and invited me to co-star with him in Hitchcock’s Jamaica Inn in 1939. That same year I moved to the U.S. to appear in the production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Very soon I became the most popular redhead in Hollywood. I appeared with eight-year-old Natalie Wood in Miracle on 34th Street. I worked with Douglas Fairbanks and Errol Flynn and made a life-long friendship with John Wayne. I featured in How Green Was My Valley and in The Black Swan with Tyrone Power. I married three times and had one daughter. Initials - MO Who Am I?

I acted in more than 40 films, mostly in the 1940s and 1950s. My career began when I was still in High School. One day a Hollywood agent stopped me as I was crossing the road and signed me on a 7 year contract without a screen test! I was 17 years old. I played minor parts in many movies until I landed a substantial role in Spellbound (1945), directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The film was successful and led to another good role in The Spiral Staircase (1946). I co-starred with many of Hollywood’s leading men included Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, Glen Ford and Rock Hudson. I was nicknamed the "Queen of Technicolor" because my fair complexion and flaming red hair photographed exceptionally well in Technicolor. I married 6 times and had one child. Initials - RF Who Am I?

  • Homosexuality and the 1960S Crisis of Masculinity in the Gay Deceivers
    Why Don’t You Take Your Dress Off and Fight Like a Man? WHY DON’T YOU TAKE YOUR DRESS OFF AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN?: HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE 1960S CRISIS OF MASCULINITY IN THE GAY DECEIVERS BRIAN W OODMAN University of Kansas During the 1960s, it seemed like everything changed. The youth culture shook up the status quo of the United States with its inves- titure in the counterculture, drugs, and rock and roll. Students turned their universities upside-down with the spirit of protest as they fought for free speech and equality and against the Vietnam War. Many previously ignored groups, such as African Americans and women, stood up for their rights. Radical politics began to challenge the primacy of the staid old national parties. “The Kids” were now in charge, and the traditional social and cultural roles were being challenged. Everything old was old-fashioned, and the future had never seemed more unknown. Nowhere was this spirit of youthful metamorphosis more ob- vious than in the transformation of views of sexuality. In the 1960s sexuality was finally removed from its private closet and cele- brated in the public sphere. Much of the nation latched onto this new feeling of openness and freedom toward sexual expression. In the era of “free love” that characterized the latter part of the decade, many individuals began to explore their own sexuality as well as what it meant to be a traditional man or woman. It is from this historical context that the Hollywood B-movie The Gay Deceivers (1969) emerged. This small exploitation film, directed by Bruce Kessler and written by Jerome Wish, capitalizes on the new view of sexuality in the 1960s with its novel (at least for the times) comedic exploration of homosexu- ality.

  • Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess
    PRESS RELEASE: June 2011 11/5 Elizabeth Taylor: Screen Goddess BFI Southbank Salutes the Hollywood Legend On 23 March 2011 Hollywood – and the world – lost a living legend when Dame Elizabeth Taylor died. As a tribute to her BFI Southbank presents a season of some of her finest films, this August, including Giant (1956), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966). Throughout her career she won two Academy Awards and was nominated for a further three, and, beauty aside, was known for her humanitarian work and fearless social activism. Elizabeth Taylor was born in Hampstead, London, on 27 February 1932 to affluent American parents, and moved to the US just months before the outbreak of WWII. Retired stage actress Sara Southern doggedly promoted her daughter’s career as a child star, culminating in the hit National Velvet (1944), when she was just 12, and was instrumental in the reluctant teenager’s successful transition to adult roles. Her first big success in an adult role came with Vincente Minnelli’s Father of the Bride (1950), before her burgeoning sexuality was recognised and she was cast as a wealthy young seductress in A Place in the Sun (1951) – her first on-screen partnership with Montgomery Clift (a friend to whom Taylor remained fiercely loyal until Clift’s death in 1966). Together they were hailed as the most beautiful movie couple in Hollywood history. The oil-epic Giant (1956) came next, followed by Raintree County (1958), which earned the actress her first Oscar nomination and saw Taylor reunited with Clift, though it was during the filming that he was in the infamous car crash that would leave him physically and mentally scarred.

  • 8 Redefining Zorro: Hispanicising the Swashbuckling Hero
    Redefining Zorro: Hispanicising the Swashbuckling Hero Victoria Kearley Introduction Such did the theatrical trailer for The Mask of Zorro (Campbell, 1998) proclaim of Antonio Banderas’s performance as the masked adventurer, promising the viewer a sexier and more daring vision of Zorro than they had ever seen before. This paper considers this new image of Zorro and the way in which an iconic figure of modern popular culture was redefined through the performance of Banderas, and the influence of his contemporary star persona, as he became the first Hispanic actor ever to play Zorro in a major Hollywood production. It is my argument that Banderas’s Zorro, transformed from bandit Alejandro Murrieta into the masked hero over the course of the film’s narrative, is necessarily altered from previous incarnations in line with existing Hollywood images of Hispanic masculinity when he is played by a Hispanic actor. I will begin with a short introduction to the screen history of Zorro as a character and outline the action- adventure hero archetype of which he is a prime example. The main body of my argument is organised around a discussion of the employment of three of Hollywood’s most prevalent and enduring Hispanic male types, as defined by Latino film scholar, Charles Ramirez Berg, before concluding with a consideration of how these ultimately serve to redefine the character. Who is Zorro? Zorro was originally created by pulp fiction writer, Johnston McCulley, in 1919 and first immortalised on screen by Douglas Fairbanks in The Mark of Zorro (Niblo, 1920) just a year later.

  • AIDS, Physiognomy and the Average Man: the De-Heroization of Rock Hudson
    1 Steven Gambardella – University College London AIDS, Physiognomy and the Average Man: the de-heroization of Rock Hudson My paper looks at the fragile construction of heroism and its relationship with the so-called general public using as a case study the tragic and much publicised illness and death of Hollywood star Rock Hudson. This paper will explore how the media coped with Hudson’s AIDS diagnosis by presenting before- and after images, comparing the Hudson on film as a romantic leading actor and the gaunt and frail Hudson with AIDS. I argue that these images shatter Hudson’s heroic status: his gaunt looks became a physiognomic index of his homosexual transgressions of the ideal ‘all American virtue’ his younger image was instrumental in setting. The practice of physiognomy was and is bound inextricably to defining normality. Allan Sekula (‘The Body and the Archive’, 1986) informs us that the ambition of early practitioners was to establish ‘A physiognomic code of visual interpretation of the body’s signs [...] and a technique of mechanised visual representation and interpretation promised a vast taxonomic ordering of images of the body.’1 Its architects in the Nineteenth Century included statisticians such as the Belgian Adolphe Quetelet, whose work, drawing on the statistical innovations of Carl Friedrich Gauss, strove to construct the statistically ‘average man’ (l’homme moyen), a term he coined. The ‘average man’ at the centre of the bell curve of physical and behavioural traits was, for Quetelet, ‘the type of all which is beautiful – of all which is good.’2 The alignment of outer ‘beauty’ with inner ‘good’ is striking.

  • Two-Color Technicolor, the Black Pirate, and Blackened Dyes in 1923
    Two-Color Technicolor, The Black Pirate, and Blackened Dyes In 1923 Cecil B. DeMille had complained that “color movies diverted interest from narrative and action, offended the color sensitivities of many, and cost too much.”1 For DeMille, color—even “natural” color processes like Technicolor—was a veil that concealed the all-important expressions on an actor’s face. Yet DeMille was attracted to color and repeatedly employed it in his films of the 1920s, combining tinting and toning with footage either in Technicolor or in the Handshiegl process. Douglas Fairbanks voiced a similar objection to color, likening its use to putting “rouge on the lips of Venus de Milo.”2 Fairbanks argued that color took “the mind of the spectator away from the picture itself, making him conscious of the mechanics—the artificiality—of the whole thing, so that he no longer lived in the story with the characters.”3 At the same time, color motion pictures were said, by their critics, to cause retinal fatigue.4 Fairbanks had once written that color “would tire and distract the eye,” serving more as a distraction than an attraction.5 Indeed, a few years later, before deciding to make The Black Pirate (1926) in two-color Technicolor, Fairbanks hired two USC professors, Drs. A. Ray Irvine and M. F. Weyman, to conduct a series of tests to ascertain the relative amount of eye fatigue (as well as nausea and headaches) generated by viewing black and white vs. color films. Fatigue was calculated in terms of the decline in the viewer’s visual acuity as a result of these screenings.
