Impossible Bodies investigates issues of ethnicity, gender and sexuality in contemporary Hollywood, examining stars from Clint Eastwood and Arnold Schwarzenegger to Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Lopez and Dolly Parton.
Impossible Bodies investigates issues of ethnicity, gender, and sexuality in contemporary Hollywood. Examining stars from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Clint Eastwood, to Whoopi Goldberg and Jennifer Lopez, Holmlund focuses on actors whose physique or appearance marks them as unusual or exceptional, and yet who occupy key and revealing positions in today''s mainstream cinema. Exploring a range of genres and considering both stars and their sidekicks, Holmlund examines ways in which Hollywood accommodates - or doesn''t - a variety of ''impossible'' bodies, from the ''outrageous'' physiques of Dolph Lundgren and Dolly Parton, to the almost-invisible bodies of Asian-Americans, Latinas and older actors.
