Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
In Hollywood Lolita: The Nymphette Syndrome in the Movies, Marianne Sinclair explores both the history of the screen image of the alluring child-woman, exemplified by such stars as Shirley Temple, Elizabeth Taylor, Natalie Wood, Sue Lyon, Carole Baker, Jodie Foster and Brooke Shields, and the public and private lives of these Hollywood Lolitas. These insightful observations, along with the revelations that rocked Hollywood, make fascinating suggestions about the old studio star system and its abuses -- as well as today's financial pressures and changing morays.
