Natalie Wood: A Study of Her Career. Rebecca Sullivan's study of Natalie Wood's career sheds new light on her contributions to American cinema. Trained in classical Hollywood studio style, but mentored by Method directors, Wood was the ideal actress for roles depicting shifting perceptions of American womanhood. Her enigmatic performances are situated within a transforming star industry and revolutionary post-war sexual politics. This book argues for renewed appreciation of Natalie Wood's career, examining her uneven contributions to American cinema. Sullivan presents a persuasive case for reevaluating Wood's legacy, placing her performances in context. With 160 pages, this paperback edition offers an engaging exploration of Natalie Wood's life and work.
