In 1926: living at the edge of time - Monoskop

STARS 215
Hollywood than from Berlin. For only through promotion on the American
market can talented, good-looking young women and men become
international stars. The American market dominates the various national
entertainment industries because it systematically subordinates the intrinsic
qualities of theatrical, musical, and athletic performance to the
public's collective desire to be in the presence of adored individual bodies.
Stars are created by this desire.
