A quick footnote to Dana's note and a shameless plug...
 
Footnote:
 
Though Christine Gledhill has worked (works?) at the BFI, S:IoD was published by
Routledge (ISBN 0-415-05218-l) in 1991 and I don't believe the BFI's imprimatur
was on it.
 
Plug:
 
Dyer's MOVIE magazine piece on Lana Turner is included in another star studies
anthology that was released the same year as S:IoD, STAR TEXTS:  IMAGE AND
PERFORMANCE IN FILM AND TELEVISION (Detroit:  Wayne State U. Press).  ISBN
0-8143-2312-X.
