Laura Stevens and Gabrielle Miller grew up in together in the spotlight. They shared stages and costarred in movies. There isn't anything about each other that they don't know, including their deepest secrets. They live in one of the biggest houses in the world, located in Kentucky where they breed and train champion horses in their spare time. Both of them are international superstars and have won more awards than anyone else in the business. To many, their lives seem perfect. But someone is threatening them, leaving notes in which they claim to know one of Laura's darkest secrets. A secret that, if revealed, could send her to jail. Laura feels that she is strong enough to take care of it herself and shrugs the notes off, refusing to ask for help. But when the threats revealed in the notes begin to come true, she begins to wonder how much her stalker really knows. And when people start to get hurt, Laura decides that it is time to call the police. But even the police don't know where to look. They search the house and the surrounding area for clues, but find nothing. With them comes an officer that will change Gabrielle's life. Tom Johnson is a hansom smooth-talker who makes his way into Gabrielle's heart, professing eternal love. Even as she worries about her friend's new relationship, Laura begins to wonder exactly who would have the most to gain by causing her death. And when things start to become even more dangerous, she begins to wonder how she and her friend will ever survive. And even if they do, what will life be like if their secret is revealed?

Since the earliest days of the movie industry, Hollywood has mythologized itself through stories of stardom. A female protagonist escapes the confines of rural America in search of freedom in a western dream factory; an ambitious, conceited movie idol falls from grace and discovers what it means to embody true stardom; or a fading star confronts Hollywood’s obsession with youth by embarking on a determined mission to reclaim her lost fame. In its various forms, the stardom film is crucial to understanding how Hollywood has shaped its own identity, as well as its claim on America’s collective imagination. In the first book to focus exclusively on these modern fairy tales, Karen McNally traces the history of this genre from silent cinema to contemporary film and television to show its significance to both Hollywood and broader American culture. Drawing on extensive archival research, she provides close readings of a wide range of films, from Souls for Sale (1923) to A Star is Born (1937 and 1954) and Judy (2019), moving between fictional narratives, biopics, and those that occupy a space in between. McNally considers the genre’s core set of tropes, its construction of stardom around idealized white femininity, and its reflections on the blurred boundaries between myth, image, and reality. The Stardom Film offers an original understanding of one of Hollywood’s most enduring genres and why the allure of fame continues to fascinate us.
