Beschreibung

Actors Who Vanished explores the compelling stories of famous performers who left Hollywood, examining the pressures of fame, disillusionment with the industry, and their quest for personal fulfillment. The book delves into why these actors chose to walk away from successful careers, analyzing the psychological toll of constant public scrutiny and the ethical compromises often demanded in a profit-driven environment. Did you know that some actors found greater satisfaction and well-being after leaving the spotlight, despite the challenges of reinventing themselves? The book provides historical context by comparing the studio system of the Golden Age to modern Hollywood, highlighting the evolution of celebrity culture and its impact on actors.

 
Exploring the vanishing actors phenomenon, it's organized into three parts: introducing case studies, delving into specific contributing factors like social media pressures, and examining the actors' lives after leaving Hollywood. It argues that these departures reflect a broader societal tension between fame's allure and the human need for authenticity.

 
Using a narrative non-fiction approach, Actors Who Vanished combines biographical research, film industry analysis, and psychological insights to offer a fresh perspective on celebrity. It's a valuable read for film enthusiasts and anyone interested in the human side of fame, providing lessons on navigating success, identity, and personal well-being in a media-saturated world.

    Pittsburgh's small but lucrative Cosa Nostra mafia family was on the rise in 1985 with a newly crowned Don . . . The men who came to dominate the rackets in western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and West Virginia opened the family to massive profits from drug trafficking and a street tax on other criminal activities. At the same time, the Youngstown, Ohio, faction of the family launched a brutal mob war against the weakening Cleveland mafia and the Altoona, Pennsylvania, crew violently clamped down on their city. Discover gritty stories of a made member who controlled who a local police department hired, an informant who betrayed his own mafia grandfather and father, numerous unsolved murders and a mob mole in the Pittsburgh office of the FBI. This is the tale of a mafia family at the pinnacle of its power, willing to do anything to hold on to that power and its downfall in the criminal underworld.

    “Many of my ardent admirers would be roundly shocked and disturbed if they realized that everything I believe is thoroughly moral, thoroughly Catholic, and that it is these beliefs that give my work its chief characteristics.” 
    —Flannery O’Connor 
    Flannery O’Connor’s work has been described as “profane, blasphemous, and outrageous.” Her stories are peopled by a sordid caravan of murderers and thieves, prostitutes and bigots whose lives are punctuated by horror and sudden violence. But perhaps the most shocking thing about Flannery O’Connor’s fiction is the fact that it is shaped by a thoroughly Christian vision. If the world she depicts is dark and terrifying, it is also the place where grace makes itself known. Her world—our world—is the stage whereon the divine comedy plays out; the freakishness and violence in O’Connor’s stories, so often mistaken for a kind of misanthropy or even nihilism, turn out to be a call to mercy. 
    In this biography, Jonathan Rogers gets at the heart of O’Connor’s work. He follows the roots of her fervent Catholicism and traces the outlines of a life marked by illness and suffering, but ultimately defined by an irrepressible joy and even hilarity. In her stories, and in her life story, Flannery O’Connor extends a hand in the dark, warning and reassuring us of the terrible speed of mercy.

    As riveting as a World War II thriller, The Forger's Spell is the true story of Johannes Vermeer and the small-time Dutch painter who dared to impersonate him centuries later. For seven years a no-account painter named Han van Meegeren managed to pass off his paintings as those of one of the most beloved and admired artists who ever lived. As Edward Dolnick reveals, his true genius lay in psychological manipulation, and he came within inches of fooling the world. Instead, he landed in an Amsterdam court on trial for his life. The Forger's Spell is the gripping, true tale of this almost perfect crime.
