Book summaryIn this collection of essays, a group of famous writers--including Patti Smith, John Updike, and Greil Marcus--celebrate their favorite unacknowledged actors, such as Jeanne Moreau, Margaret Dumont, And J.T. Walsh. Media reviews"The twenty-six essays in this varied and sometimes quirky collection grapple with the question of the actor and the actor's role--especially that of the character who, even more than the star, becomes such an archetype that, although we don't always know the actor's name, we immediately recognize him or her in the black-and-white photograph that accompanies each of the essays." |
