"""Before reading this original, well-researched, and always insightful book, I had not appreciated the dressing room as a pervasive setting in Hollywood cinema from the silent era to the present day. With her expansive, historically dense scope and careful attention to detail, Garcia examines this setting as more than just an element in the mise en scène. She convincingly shows how over the decades the dressing room has provided an important filmic space for working out conflicts of gender, race and class that still define American culture.""   -- Steven Cohan * author of Hollywood by Hollywood: The Backstudio Picture and the Mystique of Making Movies and The S *"
