Angelina Jolie's Personas

        The major focus of your paper should be to discuss the Star system in Hollywood. Using a current star (i.e. Natalie Portman, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Julia Roberts) or a “faded” star (i.e. Marilyn Monroe, James Stewart, Robert Redford, John Wayne, Cary Grant) as a case study, describe in detail the three levels of identity Belton discusses in his text. First, the “real” person, secondly, the “actor’s persona” and thirdly, the “star’s persona.” A. At the beginning of your analysis discuss what you understand under the term “star system.” What does stardom in Hollywood entail? Explain what a star in Hollywood is all about by using references from at least Belton’s text and two more other sources (Different web sites count as additional sources). If you want to use more bibliographic resources to make your arguments, feel more than welcome. B. Then, introduce the star you want to focus on. How is his or her stardom represented in the mass media. You may consult magazine profiles, advertisements, films, gossip items, or any other element or product of popular culture as supporting evidence. Some current stars also have websites that are available.   .
