Description

This bibliography presents an in-depth profile of Jean Arthur--an important, and much neglected figure of the American film industry. Along with basic biographical information, the book gives a detailed examination of her career and contribution to the entertainment field. Jean Arthur contributed to several branches of the entertainment media--film, radio, stage, television, yet surprisingly, she has been greatly overlooked by many historians. This book fills that void. As this bio-biography reveals, after many years of struggle Jean Arthur found herself a major star during the 1930s. Arthur exhibited a unique combination of girlish appeal and ladylike competence. Her evident joy at performing before the camera would turn into neurotic fear between scenes. Her popularity among peers, directors, and fellow performers, was contradicted by her near paranoia in demanding privacy and remoteness in her private life.
