The father is an enduring and iconic figure in Hollywood cinema and in the 1990s, narratives of redemptive fatherhood featured prominently in some of the decade's most popular films like Kindergarten Cop (1990), Mrs Doubtfire (1993), Jurassic Park (1993) and The Lion King (1994). Interpreting such films through the lens of feminist and queer theory, along with masculinity studies and psychoanalysis, Katie Barnett offers an insightful and interdisciplinary discussion of cinematic fathers. Barnett reveals that the father figure is often portrayed as one that invests in and is part of a discourse of reproductive futurism. This plays out across a range of genres including rom-coms, fantasy, sci-fi, drama, and disaster. By exploring both blockbuster and more low-budget films of the 1990s, Barnett explores the figure of the father against the crisis of masculinity in the United States, and indeed more globally, at this time.

This book maps father failure and redemption through three decades of Hollywood family films, revealing how libertarian notions that align agency with autonomy lead to new conflicts for the contemporary father. The films find resolution to these conflicts through a re-gendering of parenting as relationship. In their creation of a ‘pure’ fatherhood that is valorised as authentic for its lack of parental responsibilities, the films serve to challenge the perception that fathering enacted outside the nuclear family structure is fragile. McNulty Norton finds in the films a new essentialism that secures the pure relationship to the biological father, reinforcing his position in the face of changing family forms.

Being the child of a celebrity is a strange, but wonderful experience, and STAR BABIES explores this glamorous and sometimes tragic world. It's all here in this book: the fabulous birthday parties, the "limosine treatment" to school, the lemonade stand set up and supplied by the butler, the Christmas sprees to clean out the toy department. And behind this facade is a history of family trees shattered by the worlds, "Your father and I are going to get a divorce," strings of schools, and adventures with drugs and sex. Shared is a blind adoration for a famous parent, tempered by desperate craving for love and attention. These children were the first generation to plant before the moviegoing public the image of Hollywood as a family town. Maternity became marketable, and photos of stars with their wholesome families were worth their weight in gold. Image! In Hollywood, it is everything. Extraordinary in their candor and diversity, these stories reveal all of their dreams—and the delusions—that money can buy. No moviegoer should be without this intimate and unique portrait of life behind the silver screen. Includes the children of: Mario Lanza, Judy Garland and Sid Luft, Pat Boone, Tom Mix, Dorothy Lamour, David O. Selznick, Lou Costello, Jack Albertson, Lloyd Bridges, Gordon and Sheila MacRae, Jose Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney.

A photographic tour of the different sides of Hollywood by the the bestselling author of life.love.beauty. The actor, photographer, and bestselling author reveals the Hollywood we see--and the one we don't--with a photography narrative featuring more than 250 emotionally charged color and black and white photos. Keegan Allen is a Hollywood native, growing up in a world that millions visit and many more imagine. With an avid fan base that follows him on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and a busy career that includes seven years on the hit series Pretty Little Liars as well as films directed by James Franco and Gia Coppola, Allen also is a lifelong photographer whose first book, life.love.beauty, was a national bestseller. Now Keegan turns his eye and camera to the place he knows best. Hollywood captures the beauty and glamour of the place itself—with unusual angles of the famous sign, the glint of sidewalk stars stamped into the entrance of the Grauman’s TCL Chinese Theater in the rain, the Chateau Marmont at twilight, secret local hideaways, red carpets and more--but also the darker side of dreams unrealized in the faces, hands, eyes, and footsteps of those who live on the fringe of celebrity. His photos are enhanced by revealing, intimate captions, lyrics, and other writing, as well as hand-drawn illustrations, exciting parodies, and iconic emulations. A book that will engage and surprise Keegan's legions of fans and followers, Hollywood is an essential gift for anyone who has visited or imagined this storied place.

Enough already! Who ripped your fun out of fatherhood? When did parenting become a war of attrition? Didn't you get the memo? Being a dad is the best damn thing that will ever happen to you. It's the story of a lifetime. It's your own personal 'Once Upon a Time.' You're the director. The screenwriter. You write the first act, the second act, the third act. Do you want a happy beginning, middle and end? Then write one. But you're going to have to work for it. Push yourself beyond what you believe possible. Invest in your daughter. Invest in your son. Invest in yourself. When your kids' time comes - and if Epictetus has taught us anything, their time will come - when they grow up, no matter what, will they know you tried your best? Will you have kept those promises you made at 3 a.m. in the dark on a chill Tuesday morning in April as you sang lullabies into the delicate ear of that sleeping fragile lump of life you call your daughter? I'm like you. I'm a father, I'm a parent. I want what's best for my kids. And I'll go to the end of the world to make that a reality. "Because It's not the end of your world, but what if it was?" The Apocalypse Daddy isn't your traditional guide to fatherhood. You'll find zero nappy reviews. You won't read about car seats and bottle feeding and how to manage your sleep. You won't get a breakdown of the latest gadgets or the top 5 fatherhood mis-haps. They'll be nothing about pregnancy or which pushchair to buy. I don't care what's on your breakfast menu. You'll get something much better than that. Something much more actionable and powerful. You'll get a reminder that the best stories are written in childhood. You'll get a story about Quentin Tarantino and Reservoir Dogs and Stoicism and the ancient courts and emperors and Seneca and Diogenes and Epictetus and Aurelius. You'll learn about the power of running circles in your backyard and playing in grass with your children. You'll read about the magic of sleep deprivation and dreams; of running and jumping and playing; of holidays and the never-ending chaos that always ends too soon. Part love letter to his children, part alternative parenting guide, part stoic meditation, part psychotic breakdown, Apocalypse Daddy is the story of a father and his daughter and how one Spring can last a lifetime. Joining Apocalypse Daddy is a cast of cultural icons, scientists, musicians, dead kings and Schrödinger's cat. Can Buddha, Seneca, Epictetus, Bob Dylan, Diogenes, Richard Nixon, Peter Rabbit, Alfred Hitchcock, Jimi Hendrix and Hunter S Thompson help Apocalypse Daddy overcome the odds and bring education home? Is there enough time for Alice and Luca to teach Apocalypse Daddy about the meaning of life and what being a parent is really about? Undistracted. In the moment.
