Scarecrow Academy Presents The Movie Star: A History

November 23 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Event Series Event Series (See All)
Free

In this eight-week Scarecrow Academy season, we trace the gaudy, glittery, sometimes tragic story of the movie star. From the invention of the silent star through the Hollywood studio system’s manufacturing of silver-screen gods and goddesses, through the upheavals of Method acting and the counterculture right up through the present moment, we’ll trace what movie stars have meant to audiences—and ask why certain times demanded certain (sometimes wildly unlikely) stars.

There are no assigned films, but instructor and Scarecrow’s “Programmer-Historian in Residence” Robert Horton will recommend a title for attendees to view before class.

Attendance is free, registration is required: https://bit.ly/scarecrowacademy
