About the book >.>.> The Swinging Sixties found the movie industry fighting for its life. The old film studio dynasties were gone television that upstart medium had grown into a Goliath. In Hollywood the Vietnam War the sexual revolution and the drug culture suggested a kaleidoscope of edgy contemporary movie plots that fostered a shift toward realism in film. Directors rather than actors often received top billing. In front of the camera to meet the demands of the new sensibility make-up and costumes became more natural and believable. Amid this transition a variety of women emerged with the right combination of talent beauty and charisma to generate the star power that would fill theaters Plate 1. Perhaps the star who most represented the ’60s was Jane Fonda daughter of the great film actor Henry Fonda. At the begin- ing of her career she portrayed characters that highlighted her sex appeal but as her acting career developed she moved into more seri- ous challenging roles. She won Academy Awards for her perfor- mances in Klute (1971) and Coming Home (1978). One of her finest moments came in 1981 when she produced and appeared in On Golden Pond her father’s last film. Her ’60s films include: 1960: Tall Story 1962 The Chapman Report Period of Adjustment Walk on the Wild Side: 1963. In the Cool of the Day: 1964: Sunday in New York (LL)
