Crossover Stardom:
Popular Male Stars in American Cinema focuses on male music stars who have attempted to
achieve film stardom. Crossover stardom can describe stars who cross from one
medium to another. Although 'crossover' has become a popular term to describe
many modern stars who appear in various mediums, crossover stardom has a long
history, going back to the beginning of the cinema. Lobalzo Wright begins with
Bing Crosby, a significant Hollywood star in the studio era; moving to Elvis
Presley in the 1950s and 1960s, as the studio system collapsed; to Kris Kristofferson
in the New Hollywood period of the 1970s; and ending with Will Smith and Justin
Timberlake, in the contemporary era, when corporate conglomerates dominate
Hollywood. Thus, the study not only explores music stardom (and music genres)
in various eras, and masculinity within these periods, it also surveys the
history of American cinema from industrial and cultural perspectives, from the
1930s to today.
