Table of ContentsReviewsLisa Stead re-frames Vivien Leigh as an archive in motion, defying reduction and fossilisation, and demonstrates the constellation of stories, memories, items and relationships that constitute the star's presence in archives. Stead's inventive and inquisitive approach has produced a fresh framework at the vanguard of star studies: inclusive, interdisciplinary, and pioneering. * Lucy Bolton, Reader in Film Studies, Queen Mary, University of London * Through a fascinating 'reframing' of Vivien Leigh, one of the most well-known performers of the mid-twentieth century, Lisa Stead provides a model for how feminist historiography might transform star studies. Looking beyond Leigh's glamorous image, Stead reveals her work behind the scenes as a creative collaborator and activist. All the while, Stead remains attentive to the challenges of documenting the work of female stars, examining a range of archives, popular and scholarly, where traces of Leigh's life and work might be glimpsed * Shelley Stamp, author of Lois Weber in Early Hollywood * Author InformationLisa Stead is a Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Exeter, UK.
