As a financially and independently successful African American woman in a predominantly white patriarchal society, Winfrey is an ideal proponent of the American dream, having garnered celebrity and fame through an individualistic and neoliberal rhetoric. By analyzing the evolution of the American dream and how it relates to a coherent and unified American identity, I demonstrate how Winfrey’s empire of self-improvement transcends into the literary world. By utilizing qualitative textual and historical analysis, I employ a cultural studies approach by constructing a connection between the American dream’s emphasis on rugged individualism to themes and ideas presented in the context of Oprah’s Book Club, with special focus on ideology and values within the American dream.

Kuhn ABSTRACT Since the 1936 publication of Gone with the Wind and the 1939 release of David O. Selznick’s film version of the book, the city of Atlanta has been associated in the public mind with Margaret Mitchell’s tale of the Old South, the Civil War and Reconstruction. The work of Mitchell and Selznick created images that shaped the public’s understanding of southern history and of Atlanta’s identity. This dissertation examines a series of attempts to capitalize on the fame and popularity of Gone with the Wind in museums in the Atlanta area. Focusing on the interpretive efforts of three entities—the Atlanta History Center, Clayton County, and the Margaret Mitchell House, Inc.—this study reveals the problematic nature of Mitchell’s and Selznick’s work and the impact that the book and film have had on shaping Atlanta’s identity and the public memory of the South.

  • 'Daniel's Daughter'
    ‘DANIEL’S DAUGHTER’ CAST BIOS LAURA LEIGHTON (Catherine) – Versatile actress Laura Leighton is best known as the scheming Sydney Andrews on the hit Fox drama “Melrose Place,” a role which earned her a Golden Globe nomination and an US Magazine Entertainer of The Year Award. Born in Iowa City, Iowa, to a mid-western family, Leighton found a passion early on for the arts. Shortly after graduating from West High (ironically located on Melrose Avenue), she left Iowa to tour the country with the song and dance troupe “Young Americans.” Leighton eventually moved on to study acting, and soon after, began landing television commercials and was cast in a guest spot on Aaron Spelling’s “Melrose Place,” which soon turned into a permanent gig. As viewers gripped to their love/hate relationship with Sydney, the success of this nighttime drama became enormous. She played the character for the better part of four years, when her character was killed off in May 1997. She later joined the cast of Spelling’s “Beverly Hills, 90210” for several episodes, appearing in a role Spelling created specifically for her. In 2003 she made her return to series television in Jerry Bruckheimer’s “Skin” on FOX and followed it up when she appeared opposite Tim Daly on the ABC private detective series “Eyes.” Most recently, Leighton has made guest star appearances on such series as “CSI: Miami,” “Boston Legal,” “Shark,” “Damages,” and “Law and Order SVU.” In August of 2007, she appeared in the Lifetime Television movie “Love Notes.” She also recently wrapped production on “The Burrowers”, a new horror/thriller from Sony/LionsGate.

It investigates how and why writers create their fictional worlds, how we as readers are affected by these stories, and what these 100 different books have to say about our diverse nation and our shared human experience. The television series features entertaining and informative documentary segments, with compelling testimonials from celebrities, authors, notable Americans, and book lovers across the country. It comprises a two-hour launch episode in which the list of 100 books is revealed, five one-hour theme episodes that examine concepts common to groups of books on the list, and a finale, in which the results are announced of a nationwide vote to choose America’s best-loved novel. The series is the centerpiece of an ambitious multiplatform digital, social, educational, and community outreach campaign, designed to get the country reading and passionately talking about books.
