At the forefront of the entertainment industries of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were singular actors: Sarah Bernhardt, Gabrielle Réjane, and Mistinguett. Talented and formidable women with global ambitions, these performers forged connections with audiences across the world while pioneering the use of film and theatrics to gain international renown. Transnational Trailblazers of Early Cinema traces how these women emerged from the Parisian periphery to become world-famous stars. Building upon extensive archival research in France, England, and the United States, Victoria Duckett argues that, through intrepid business prowess and the use of early multimedia to cultivate their celebrity image, these three artists strengthened ties between countries, continents, and cultures during pivotal years of change.

Reviews for Transnational Trailblazers of Early Cinema: Sarah Bernhardt, Gabrielle Réjane, Mistinguett

" ""With her new book, Duckett models how we feminist film historians may approach not only Mistinguett but many other silent comediennes like Sarah Duhamel and Little Chrysia, whose careers on stage and in the cinema still require further research. I have no doubt that more scholars too will enjoy Duckett’s Transnational Trailblazers of Early Cinema, for its fascinating case studies, breadth of historical knowledge and depth of archival research."" * Early Popular Visual Culture *"
