Her reviews, interviews, and essays are syndicated in The Village Voice and ten other papers in the Voice Media Group chain, and she cohosts its weekly Voice Film Club podcast. She is a member of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
webLongDescription The Anatomy of an Actor series takes ten roles by a single actor, each studied in a dedicated chapter, and identifies the key elements that made the performances exceptional – carefully examining the actor’s craft for both a professional audience and movie fans alike. Tom Cruise (born 1962), first cast by Francis Ford Coppola in The Outsiders (1983), gained international notoriety in the mid-1980s thanks to Tony Scott’s Top Gun (1986). One of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood, Cruise has oriented his career to blockbusters, starring in Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds (2005) and the Mission: Impossible series (1996, 2000, 2006, 2011)
An accessible text combines both a narrative and analytical dimension and is illustrated by 300 film stills, set photographs and film sequences.
