Sinister and sexy, it forged a new icon: the tough, independent, take-no-guff dame. Determined, desirable, dangerous when cornered, she could handle trouble - or deal out some of her own. If you thought these women were something special onscreen, wait till you meet the genuine articles. In Dark City Dames, acclaimed film historian Eddie Muller profiles six women who made a lasting impression in this cinematic terrain - from veteran "bad girls" Audrey Totter, Marie Windsor and Jane Greer to unexpected genre fixtures Evelyn Keyes, Coleen Gray and Ann Savage. The book surveys the lives of these formidable women during the height of their careers circa 1950, as they balanced love and career, struggled against typecasting, and sought fulfillment in a ruthless business. Their personal stories - teeming with larger- than-life characters like Howard Hughes, L. B. Mayer, Robert Mitchum, Otto Preminger and John Huston - offer an illuminating counterpoint to their movies, such as Out of the Past, Detour, The Lady in the Lake, and The Killing. Then Dark City Dames revisits each one of these women today, fifty years on, to witness their hard-won - and triumphant - survival. On every page their own voices ring through, reflecting on their lives with as much passion, pain, intelligence, energy and humor as any movie script." --|cFrom dust jacket. 563 Black boards; dust jacket.|5CU-BANC 600 10 Greer, Jane,|d1924-2001. 600 10 Totter, Audrey. 600 10 Windsor, Marie. 600 10 Keyes, Evelyn,|d1916-2008. 600 10 Gray, Coleen,|d1922-2015. 600 10 Savage, Ann,|d1921-2008. 650 0 Motion picture actors and actresses|zUnited States |vBiography. 650 0 Actresses|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Film noir|zUnited States|xHistory and criticism. 650 7 Actresses.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00796328 650 7 Film noir.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00924273 650 7 Motion picture actors and actresses.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01027096 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 752 United States|bNew York|dNew York. 935 GLADN51107093 935 .b9829052 956 20161128|btbrb 957 OCLC xref loaded 20161211 991 bb9829052 994 C0|bCUY
