British Stars and Stardom:

From Alma Taylor to Sean Connery
Front Cover

Manchester University Press, 2001 - Performing Arts - 260 pages
British film stars—even the most famous ones, such as James Mason, Sean Connery, and Julie Andrews—are a neglected subject in film history. This interesting collection looks at the whole of British stardom from circa 1910 onwards, and the many types of British stars who gained worldwide fame through national and international cinema.
