	Hollywood Diva: A Biography of Jeanette MacDonald
		Although Edward Baron Turk's Hollywood diva: a biography of Jeanette MacDonald is billed equally as cultural and film history, that isn't strictly accurate.
		It is primarily an homage to Jeanette MacDonald, the dancer, singer, Broadway and Hollywood star, who entertained troops during World War 11, hobnobbed with the Eisenhowers and Nixons, but who never fulfilled her life's ambition of singing opera at the New York Metropolitan.
		At 467 pp, Hollywood diva clearly is meant to be comprehensive: remove bibliography, notes, the list of abbreviations, details of principle recording sessions, a filmography, and stage credits for everything Turk could document, and the text drops to 344 pp.

	The Rise and Fall of Gay Culture
		I was not attracted to Hollywood stars because of their femininity, nor did my admiration of them reflect any burning desire to be a woman, as the homosexual's fascination with actresses is usually explained, as if diva worship were simply a ridiculous side effect of gender conflicts.
		Although at first sight gay diva worship seems to have been as giddy as an adolescent girl's moonstruck infatuation with her teen idols, the homosexual's love of Hollywood was not an expression of flamboyant effeminacy but, rather, in a very literal sense, of swaggering machismo.
		Hollywood divas were drafted, naturally without their knowledge, into the role of quasi-gay-liberation leaders, their charismatic presence unifying a body of followers who flocked together, not necessarily because of their idol's peculiar talents as an actress, but simply because she provided a kind of magnet.

		Trivia: The producers were looking for an actress who fit the description of Cynthia Hawkins (the Diva) in the original novel (a beautiful Black American woman who sings a flawless operatic soprano, and speaks both English and French fluently), and attended a performance of "Carmen" to familiarize themselves with opera performers.
		I watched 'Diva' the other day for the first time in at least fifteen years and it really held up.
		One could argue that 'Diva', though by no means science fiction, was a strong influence on William Gibson and other cyberpunk writers.

	Asia Argento: The Scarlet Diva - Hollywood North Report
		But that was hardly as harrowing as physically portraying a suicidal anorexic teenager whose parents have been murdered right in front of her.
		Asia’s own freshman directorial effort was a bold semi-autobiographical art-house drama with plenty of sex, nudity, drug use and general discomfort as we see Asia starring as a young Italian starlet who is trying to get her first script produced overseas.
		This type of self-destructive and somewhat loathing reflection as entertainment could have easily fallen to pieces (or worse, become utterly boring) in the hands of so many others — but what is Asia’s raw and novice talent is also her honesty, and that in itself is appealing enough to carry her first full-length directorial endeavor.

		In addition to documenting her monumental Hollywood years with MGM, Turk (French/film studies, MIT) captures the operetta queen's forays into radio and television, her associations with Ernst Lubitsch, Maurice Chevalier, and?most famously?Nelson Eddy, and her marriage of 28 years to Gene Raymond (who died this year).
		MacDonald's straddling of "low" and "high" art, her ambivalence toward her "practical" movie career, and her quest to fill the spotlight as a serious operatic singer are poignant.
		"Hollywood Diva" is must reading for anyone with even a slight interest in the history of the entertainment industry.

		Hollywood Divas traces that glittering path from legendary icons to today's most high-maintenance celebrities of film and TV.

		Two letters and two postcards written by legendary Hollywood diva Greta Garbo in the 1920s and 1930s have been stolen from the Swedish National Archives, the institute said.

		After the Swedish actress was brought to Hollywood in the 1920's, she wove her spell in silent films such as "Flesh and the Devil" and later in the talkies "Camille" and "Mata Hari." But her fans were shocked...

	Turk delves into life, career in bio of movie diva MacDonald - MIT News Office
		I feel so many of the standard encyclopedias and Hollywood bios misrepresent MacDonald and fail to credit her with being one of the most important movie stars of the 1930s.
		The bottom line was that MacDonald would have, and certainly could have sung the Gounod operas she'd been performing elsewhere, had there not been a tremendous bias against a Hollywood figure on the stage of the Metropolitan.
		That was the biggest disappointment of her life and she was a woman who got almost everything she wanted.

		Of course, the same Hollywood that gave McDaniel her Oscar also produced Gone With the Wind and countless other films whose racism was, far, far, far less open to dispute.
