THOSE WHO
DIED YOUNG Marianne Sinclair Worshipped as heroes, idolised, treated as gods, mythological stars are more than objects of admiration. Marianne Sinclair explores the sociological aspects of the cults that followed the deaths of stars like Rudolph Valantino, Jean Harlow, Marilyn Monroe, Carol Lombard, John Garfield, Montgomery Clift, James Dean, and Elvis Presley. Using a rare collection of photographs, she reveals the manner in which stars are formed from a social dynamic driven by the modern world's consuming need for icons. 192 pages / 200 photos / 295 x 210mm ISBN 085965 023 5 ISBN13 978 0 85965 023 6 Paperback / UK £8.95 / US $14.95 |
