A Word About ‘Persona’
Margaret Perry
Posted by MargaretPerry on April 23, 2012
Throughout the 20th century, film stars had a very significant role in defining American womanhood. They were as much public figures as any politician, social reformer, or military leader.

Posted by MargaretPerry on July 15, 2011
Preparing to see HP 7 pt. 2 some time this week. I’ve heard awesome things so I’m really looking forward to it. Actually, I am of the opinion that we should have had an international holiday to allow people time to go see the movie. If I ruled the world…...
