Inhaltsangabe
Jean Harlow, the Godmother of Blondes, lit the torch for the blonde bombshell, creating an image and persona that would be passed on for generations to come. Jean’s life was cut tragically short at the age of 26, but the flame reignited in the 1950s with the most notorious blondes of all time: Ruth Ellis, Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and Diana Dors. Each left a legacy that has ensured the fire will never be completely extinguished, affecting not only individual lives but society across a world stage.From Marilyn’s stardom and Diana’s unwavering integrity, to Ruth’s tragic status as the last woman hanged in Britain, all of these women experienced success and tragedy, love and heartbreak, and attention both positive and negative.Bombshells examines these five exceptional women in the context of the 1950s, the expectations and constrictions society had at the time and how they pushed through barriers and paved the way for the real sexual revolution.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Jean Harlow lit the torch for the blonde bombshell, creating an image and persona that would be passed on for generations to come. Jean's life was tragically short in 1937, at the age of 26, but the flame reignited in the 1950s with the most notorious blondes of all time: Ruth Ellis, Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and Diana Dors. Each left a legacy that has ensured the fire will never be completely extinguished, changing not only individual lives but society across a world stage as a whole. Bombshells examines these women in the context of the time they lived, their achievements and tragedies: from Marilyn's stardom and Diana's unwavering integrity, to Ruth's tragic status as the last woman hanged in Britain. These were women of glamorously shallow appearance and yet undeniably deep and complex substance - lives that were snuffed out too early, but which transformed into legends that continue to burn bright. AUTHOR: Shar Williams has a Masters degree in English and Creative Writing, and has contributed research to multiple published books about stars of the 1950s, and has written dozens of articles in magazines. Alongside writing, she has set up and runs Retro Daisy Vintage, an online clothing boutique (50,000 followers). She helps run Immortal Marilyn (16,000 members), and in 2007 & 2012 helped organise events at the Marilyn Monroe Memorial in LA, which attracted fans from around the globe, including Hollywood film producer A.C. Lyles. She lives in Sussex. 30 b/w illustrations From Jean Harlow and Marilyn Monroe to Ruth Ellis: the stories of the strong, spirited and controversial women who created the enduring image of the Blonde Bombshell Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
