ROSS, STEVEN J. Hollywood left and right: how movie stars shaped American politics. New York: Oxford University Press, 2013, later printing number line starting with 3, xi, 500pp., . In Hollywood Left and Right, Steven J. Ross tells a story that has escaped public attention: the emergence of Hollywood as a vital center of political life and the important role that movie stars have played in shaping the course of American politics. Ever since the film industry relocated to Hollywood early in the twentieth century, it has had an outsized influence on American politics. Through compelling larger-than-life figures in American cinema -- Charlie Chaplin, Louis B. Mayer, Edward G. Robinson, George Murphy, Ronald Reagan, Harry Belafonte, Jane Fonda, Charlton Heston, Warren Beatty, and Arnold Schwarzenegger -- Hollywood Left and Right reveals how the film industry's engagement in politics has been longer, deeper, and more varied than most people would imagine. As shown in alternating chapters, the Left and the Right each gained ascendancy in Tinseltown at different times. From Chaplin, whose movies almost always displayed his leftist convictions, to Schwarzenegger's nearly seamless transition from action blockbusters to the California governor's mansion, Steven J. Ross traces the intersection of Hollywood and political activism from the early twentieth century to the present. Hollywood Left and Right challenges the commonly held belief that Hollywood has always been a bastion of liberalism. The real story, as Ross shows in this passionate and entertaining work, is far more complicated. First, Hollywood has a longer history of conservatism than liberalism. Second, and most surprising, while the Hollywood Left was usually more vocal and visible, the Right had a greater impact on American political life, capturing a senate seat (Murphy), a governorship (Schwarzenegger), and the ultimate achievement, the Presidency (Reagan). - CONTENTS: Introduction: movie stars and politics -- The first political movie star: Charlie Chaplin -- The man who brought Hollywood into the Republican Party: Louis B. Mayer -- Little Caesar and the HUAC mob: Edward G. Robinson -- Hollywood and the conservative revolution: George Murphy and Ronald Reagan -- Politics in black and white: Harry Belafonte -- Movement leader, grassroots builder: Jane Fonda -- Moses and the red tide: Charlton Heston -- President Bulworth, or, will Mr. Beatty go to Washington?: Warren Beatty -- Governor Arnold and the age of celebrity politics: Arnold Schwarzenegger -- Epilogue.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A 2018 FINALIST FOR THE PULITZER PRIZE[Hitler in Los Angeles] is part thriller and all chiller, about how close the California Reich came to succeeding (Los Angeles Times). No American city was more important to the Nazis than Los Angeles, home to Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine in the world. The Nazis plotted to kill the citys Jews and to sabotage the nations military installations: Plans existed for murdering twenty-four prominent Hollywood figures, such as Al Jolson, Charlie Chaplin, and Louis B. Mayer; for driving through Boyle Heights and machine-gunning as many Jews as possible; and for blowing up defense installations and seizing munitions from National Guard armories along the Pacific Coast. U.S. law enforcement agencies were not paying close attention--preferring to monitor Reds rather than Nazis--and only attorney Leon Lewis and his daring ring of spies stood in the way. From 1933 until the end of World War II, Lewis, the man Nazis would come to call the most dangerous Jew in Los Angeles, ran a spy operation comprised of military veterans and their wives who infiltrated every Nazi and fascist group in Los Angeles. Often rising to leadership positions, they uncovered and foiled the Nazis disturbing plans for death and destruction. Featuring a large cast of Nazis, undercover agents, and colorful supporting players, the Los Angeles Times bestselling Hitler in Los Angeles, by acclaimed historian Steven J. Ross, tells the story of Lewiss daring spy network in a time when hate groups had moved from the margins to the mainstream. [Hitler in Los Angeles] is part thriller and all chiller, about how close the California Reich came to succeeding (Los Angeles Times).
