A Lady in the Spotlight

Streaming video - 1997

The lights dim, and across the silver screens of the world comes the flickering image of a lady. She is a movie star. In our movie stars, and in the entertainment industry as a whole, many women have worked to achieve a unique place in shaping the cultural love of history. For no one has had the influence on what we wear, how we talk, and often, how we simply perceive this world, as did, and do, the ladies who shape and appear in films, on stage and on our television screens. Whether it is the first female film director, a leading Broadway lyricist, the first women network co-anchor, or so many shining starts, we find example after example of women who fought the odds toward achievement and in doing so left a forever mark on the cultural de...velopment of society. more
