Item description from seller

Starting the late 1890s, the earliest film productions in both Europe and North America credited no ‘stars’; the actors performed anonymously but by 1912 they were being named and the industry had begun to operate the star system. This study looks at how that change came about and asks: Why did a star system emerge in film at all.
