Gloria Swanson Ready for Her Close-Up
No full textGloria Swanson: Ready for Her Close-Up shows how a talented, self-confident actress negotiated a creative path through seven decades of celebrity. It also illuminates a little-known chapter in American media history: how the powerful women of early Hollywood transformed their remarkable careers after their stars dimmed. This book brings Swanson (1899-1983) back into the spotlight, revealing her as a complex, creative, entrepreneurial, and thoroughly modern woman. Swanson cavorted in slapstick short films with Charlie Chaplin and Mack Sennett in the 1910s. The popularity of her films with Cecil B. DeMille helped create the star system. A glamour icon, Swanson became the most talked-about star in Hollywood, earning three Academy Award nominations, receiving 10,000 fan letters every week, and living up to a reputation as Queen of Hollywood. She bought mansions and penthouses, dressed in fur and feathers, and flitted through Paris, London, and New York engaging in passionate love affairs that made headlines and caused scandals. Frustrated with the studio system, Swanson turned down a million-dollar-a-year contract. After a wild ride making unforgettable movies with some of Hollywood's most colorful characters-including her lover Joseph Kennedy and maverick director Erich von Stroheim-she was a million dollars in debt. Without hesitation she went looking for her next challenge, beginning her long second act. Swanson became a talented businesswoman who patented inventions and won fashion awards for her clothing designs; a natural foods activist decades before it was fashionable; an exhibited sculptor; and a designer employed by the United Nations. All the while she continued to act in films, theater, and television at home and abroad. Though she had one of Hollywood's most famous exit lines-"All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up"-the realGloria Swanson never looked back.Cover -- CONTENTS -- 1 Glory -- 2 Funny Girl -- 3 Triangle -- 4 The Lions' Den -- 5 In the Family Way -- 6 The Great Moment -- 7 Her Gilded Cage -- 8 East Coaster -- 9 French Idyll -- 10 American Royalty -- 11 Declaration of Independence -- 12 Let It Rain -- 13 The Swamp -- 14 People Will Talk -- 15 The Crash -- 16 Mad about the Boy -- 17 Perfect Misunderstanding -- 18 Reinventing Herself -- 19 "You Used to Be Big" -- 20 Dressing the Part -- 21 Not Ready for Her Retrospective -- 22 Last Act -- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -- NOTES -- FILMOGRAPHY -- WORKS CITED -- PHOTOGRAPH CREDITS -- INDEX -- A -- B -- C -- D -- E -- F -- G -- H -- I -- J -- K -- L -- M -- N -- O -- P -- Q -- R -- S -- T -- U -- V -- W -- Y -- ZGloria Swanson: Ready for Her Close-Up shows how a talented, self-confident actress negotiated a creative path through seven decades of celebrity.

This species is recognized by the following combination of characters. Body: Ground punctation very fine and sparse. Head: Frontal stria terminating at clypeolabral suture (Fig. 3B); marginal epistomal stria absent. Pronotum: Marginal stria moderately divergent from anterior edge along midline (Fig. 4A). Elytra: Dorsal stria 5 and sutural stria shorter than dorsal striae 1–4, terminating in basal third of elytra (Fig. 8); subhumeral striae absent or reduced to rows of very faint punctures. First abdominal ventrite: Lateral disc bistriate (Fig. 2D). Aedeagus: Parameres straight, slightly spatulate, but tips terminating in acute point (Fig. 9I). Description. L: 2.17 mm; W: 1.60 mm; E/Pn L: 1.47; E/Pn W: 1.11; Pn W/L: 1.64; E L/W: 0.81; Sterna: 0.68, 0.27, 0.66 mm. Form oval, moderately depressed; color black to rufous, shiny. Frons slightly convex, finely, densely punctate; frontal stria interrupted anteromedially, extending anterad just beyond antennal insertion to clypeolabral suture, but strongly impressed throughout its length; marginal epistomal stria absent. Pronotum convex, widest at base and converging anteriorly, sides gently curving; anterior angles acute, projecting; marginal stria complete, strongly impressed, about twice as distant from anterior margin of pronotum behind head than along interior margin of anterior angles; pronotal disc finely, moderately densely punctate medially with a narrow, arching band of coarse punctures extending from posterior to anterior corners; posterior margin rounded, marked by a row of coarse round punctures; antescutellar puncture round, strongly impressed. Prosternal lobe coarsely moderately densely punctate, surface microstrigose posteriorly; prosternal keel moderately convex, surface microstrigose; carinal striae slightly inwardly arcuate, united posteriorly. Elytra finely moderately sparsely punctate, punctation more dense toward suture; coarse punctures confined to a narrow band along elytral apices, not extending basally beyond apical termini of dorsal and sutural striae; epipleuron coarsely punctate in apical half, marginal elytral stria arcuate, paralleling marginal epipleural stria before abruptly converging near apex, outer edge subcariniform; external and internal subhumeral striae generally absent, although external subhumeral may be represented by a row of several very faint punctures in some specimens; 1 st – 4 th dorsal striae complete, slightly inwardly arcuate, punctate at regular intervals; 5 th dorsal stria largely absent in basal third, though it may be extended basally by 2 or 3 faint punctures in some specimens; sutural striae similarly abbreviated such that a striation-free “window” is apparent across basomedial third of elytra. Mesosternum finely, densely punctate; anterior margin posteriorly arcuate; marginal stria complete, strongly impressed laterally, more weakly impressed along anterior margin, continuous with lateral metasternal stria; mesometasternal suture represented by a fine line; intercoxal disc of metasternum finely, densely punctate, entirely free from coarse punctation; lateral metasternal stria straight, strongly impressed, nearly reaching outer margin of metacoxal cavity; posterior mesocoxal stria outwardly divergent, about 3/4 length of internal lateral, terminating well before external lateral metacoxal margin; lateral disc coarsely moderately densely and evenly punctate. Propygidium coarsely, densely punctate with fine punctures interspersed; pygidium more finely punctate, a few coarse punctures scattered near base. Intercoxal disc of 1 st abdominal ventrite finely, moderately densely punctate anteriorly, punctation thinning posteriorly, surface almost entirely glabrous in posterior third; bistriate on each side medial to metacoxal cavities; lateral disc coarsely, sparsely punctate, bearing a marginal stria and single, short, strongly impressed medial stria. Outer margin of protibia bidentate in distal half, denticles rounded, deflexed, not projecting much beyond tibial margin; outer margin of mesotibia tridentate, with 2 denticles inserted near apex and 3 rd inserted just proximal to midpoint; outer margin of metatibia tridentate as in mesotibia, basal denticle strongly acute. Parameres of aedeagus widened in middle, slightly spatulate but elongate toward tips, about ½ length of basal piece (Fig. 9I). Comparison with Related Species. Carcinops yaqui is similar in appearance to C. consors, as both species possess two striae on the lateral discs of their first abdominal ventrite. The shape of the secondary stria, however, differs between the species. Carcinops yaqui has a relatively straight secondary stria (Fig. 2D), whereas C. consors has a secondary stria that diverges ventrally in its posterior fourth (Fig. 2C). Carcinops yaqui can also be distinguished from C. consors by its absence of subhumeral striae and the larger gap between its pronotal stria and the pronotal margin (Fig. 4A). Geographic Distribution and Natural History. Carcinops yaqui is known from Sonora and Oaxaca, Mexico. Sonoran specimens were collected from the necroses of S. montanus, S. thurberi, and P. alensis. Oaxacan specimens collected by A. Newton are recorded as having been found on “rotting cacti columnar/ Opuntia.” Carcinops yaqui specimens have been absent from collections taken in Baja California Sur, Arizona, and southern California, indicating a likely more southern range than other species of cactophilic Carcinops in the Sonoran Desert. Additional Material Examined. 3 specimens. MEXICO: Sonora: San Carlos, 27.9707°N 110.99825°W, sea level, 19.III.2007, ex. necrotic Stenocereus thurberi, A. Swanson (APS, 1; DNA voucher: APS127). Oaxaca: 5 mi. W Tequisistlán, 1100 ft, 23.VII-5.IX.1973, on rotting cacti, columnar/ Opuntia, A. Newton (FMNH, 2; DNA voucher: EMR562). Derivation of Specific Epithet. Carcinops yaqui is named for the Yaqui (“YAH-kee”) natives of Sonora, Mexico. The name is a noun in apposition.Published as part of Reese, Ellen M. & Swanson, Alexander P., 2017, A Review of the CactophilicCarcinopsMarseul (Coleoptera: Histeridae) of the Sonoran Desert Region, with Descriptions of Six New Species, pp. 159-190 in The Coleopterists Bulletin 71 (1) on pages 177-179, DOI: 10.1649/0010-065X-71.1.159, http://zenodo.org/record/536267
