For generations, members of the LGBTQ+ community in Hollywood needed to be discreetabout their lives butmake no mistakethey were everywhere, both in front of and behind the camera. On the eve of the twentieth century, in Thomas Edisons laboratory, one of the earliest attempts at a sound film depicted two men dancing together as a third plays the violin. Its only a few minutes long, but this cornerstone of early cinema captureda queer moment on film. It would not be the last. With Hollywood Pride, renowned film critic Alonso Duraldepresents a history spanning from the dawn of cinema through thepansy craze of the 1930s and the New Queer Cinema of the 1990s, all the way up to today. He showcases the hard-working actors, writers, directors, producers, cinematographers, art directors, and choreographers whose achievements defined the American film industryand charts the evolution of LGBTQ+ storytelling itselfthe way mainstream Hollywood decided it would portray (or erase) their lives and the narratives created by queer filmmakers who fought to tell those stories themselves. Along the way, readers will encounter a fascinating cast of characters, such as the first generation of queer actors, including J. Warren Kerrigan, Ramon Novarro, and William Haines. Early cinema pioneers like Alla Nazimova and F. W. Murnau helped shape the new medium of moving pictures. The sex symbols, both male (Rock Hudson, Tab Hunter, and Anthony Perkins) and female (Lizabeth Scott and Greta Garbo), lived under the threat of their private lives undermining their public personas. Underground filmmakers Kenneth Anger and John Waters made huge strides in LGBTQ+ representation with their off-off-Hollywood productions in the 1960s and70s. These screen legends paved the way for every openly queer figure in Hollywood today. Illustrated with more than 175 full-color and black-and-white images, Hollywood Pride points to the bright future of LGBTQ+ representation in cinema by revealing the story of the communitys inclusion and erasure, its visibility and invisibility, and its triumphs and tragedies.
