Publisher Notes
Starlet: Photographs from the Hollywood Front Lines is an homage to the starlets who risked it all. Many became superstars-some may be recognized while others existed so ephemerally only these beautiful images and the dreams they represent remain. But, they dared and they risked everything.
Striking, adventuresome, sexy, fresh, vulnerable, sometimes wistful, dramatic, overeager, resistant, uncomfortable-these photographs taken over the last twenty-five years were shot through the curious and sympathetic eye of Nancy Ellison.
The stars featured here include: Isabelle Adjani, Anne Archer, Rosanna Arquette, Kim Basinger, Jennifer Beals, Barbara Carrera, Jamie Lee Curtis, Angelica Houston, Grace Jones, Jessica Lange, Brigitte Nielson, Molly Ringwald, Sharon Stone, and many more.
Nancy Ellison is the author of Romeo and Juliet: The Love Story in Dance, Swan Lake, and Barbie Live. Her photographs have appeared in Vanity Fair, The New York Times Magazine, People, Mirabella, and Vogue.
