Beginning December 27, 1996, The Museum of Modern Art presents Born Yesterday: The Films of Judy Holliday, a complete retrospective of Holliday's short but exhilarating career. Holliday's experience working with director George Cukor on Winged Victory led to a collaboration with Cukor, Garson Kanin, and Kanin's wife Ruth Gordon, resulting in Adam's Rib (1949), Born Yesterday (1950), The Marrying Kind (1952), and // Should Happen To You (1952). She went on to make Phffft (1954), The Solid Gold Cadillac (1956), Full of Life (1956), and, for director Vincente Minnelli, Bells Are Ringing (1960). -more- 11 West 53 Street, New York, New York 10019 Tel: 212-708-9400 Fax: 212-708-9889 2 The Department of Film and Video and Sony Pictures Entertainment are restoring the six films that Holliday made at Columbia Pictures from 1950 to 1956.

Abstract: Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl again. With this formula it seems that romantic comedies are actually meant for men instead of women. If this is the case, then why do women watch these films? The repetition of female stars like Katharine Hepburn, Doris Day and Meg Ryan in romantic comedies allows audiences to find elements of truth in their characters as they grapple with the input of others in their life choices, combat the anxiety of being single, and prove they are less sexually naïve than society would like to admit.

American Studies, University of Massachusetts Boston A Jewish-created urban and cosmopolitan working girl feminism persisted in the 1950s as a cultural alternative to the suburban, domestic consumerism critiqued so eloquently by Betty Friedan in The Feminine Mystique . The film persona of Jewish, Academy Award-winning actress Judy Holliday embodied this working girl feminism. Audiences viewed her portrayals of popular front working girl heroines in three films written by the Jewish writer and director Garson Kanin, sometimes in association with his wife, the actress Ruth Gordon, and directed by the Jewish director George Cukor in the early 1950s: Born Yesterday (1950), The Marrying Kind (1952), and It Should Happen to You (1954).

  • The Argument for Agency in the Stardom of Katharine Hepburn
    Sara Bakerman Too Good for the Fan Rags: The Argument for Agency in the Stardom of Katharine Hepburn Abstract During her tenure at RKO in the 1930s, Katharine Hepburn ascended to the top echelon of stardom, establishing herself in the public eye as a gifted actress even as she resisted the formal structures of fame and celebrity. Through the examination of personal correspondences, including letters and telegrams from fans, friends, and colleagues, this paper investigates the extent to which Hepburn actively contributed to the maintenance of her image leveraged her stardom as the means to manage her own career. Of equal concern in this inquiry are the implications of the actress’s agency for the longevity of her early career; to this end, contemporary fan magazine coverage will be analyzed for its role in constructing Hepburn’s public persona. The discrepancies and overlaps in the public and private discourses surrounding her star image serve as crucial evidence of Hepburn’s privileged status within the industry, which runs contrary to broadly accepted notions of the studio system. As early as 1935, RKO memorandums reveal that the star wielded considerable power within the studio and was making decisions regarding production, which was particularly rare for actresses during this phase of the studio era. That same year, Hepburn received a letter that predicted her eventual labeling as “box office poison” and suggested ways to achieve greater influence in Hollywood; subsequent correspondence indicates the nuances of the studio’s response to Hepburn’s attempts to follow that advice. In terms of industrial agency, these communications offer a dynamic that is particularly crucial to the understanding of the ostensibly “private” star.

It can seemingly be linked to the distinctiveness of that region as compared to the rest of the United States—a distinctiveness that has been brought about by historical, geographical, socio­ logical and economi c factors. Basing the discussion on the theory of Philip Thomson, who d efines the grotesque as "the unresolved clash between in­ compatibles in work and re sponse," various critical approaches to the Southern grotesque are examined, all of which are found to be too all-embracing. An e ffort is then made t o analyse the grotesque as displayed particularly in Caldwell, Capote, Faulkner, Goyen, McCullers, O'Connor and W elty.
