It was the era of the Vietnam War, the sexual revolution and the drug culture. The old movie studios were gone, and the film industry was struggling to compete with the evergrowing power of television. In the midst of this era of turmoil, Hollywood filmmakers of the 1960s turned to entertainers whose star power, unique beauty and "charisma" could be counted on to fill movie theaters. This exciting paper doll collection, carefully researched and skillfully rendered by Tom Tierney, focuses on eight stellar female performers of that period, each shown with costumes from four motion pictures in which they appeared. Among the stars and costumes included are Jane Fonda, clad in a space fantasy outfit from "Barbarella;" Joanne Woodward, wearing an elegant gown from "A New Kind of Love;" Barbra Streisand, resplendent in a lavishly beaded dress from "Hello, Dolly;" Julie Andrews, attired in a no-nonsense nanny outfit from "Mary Poppins;" and Natalie Wood modeling a seductive dress from "Gypsy." Also shown are Anne Bancroft in a simple 19th-century shirtwaist, floor-length skirt and apron from "The Miracle Worker;" Kim Novak in a lacy undergarment and fishnet stockings from "Pal Joey;" while Shirley Maclaine models a streetwalker's outfit from "Irma La Douce." A must-have collection for paper doll collectors, this entertaining volume will be prized as well by motion picture fans and costume enthusiasts.
