Born by chance after the author/artists found a box full of collectible cards, Framed re-examines the lives and the careers of 100 actresses cast aside by Hollywood between the 1920-50s, some left alone to cope with alcohol and drug addiction, others able to reinvent themselves as mothers, career women, even UN ambassadors, political activists, and scientific researchers, while others paid the price for being independent, with pregnancies and relationships disapproved by the film industry and the strict rules of a star system that was among the most brutal in the world. This study puts these 100 actresses back into the limelight, actresses who have contributed to the history of cinema. It shows them for who they really were, that is, ordinary women strong and fragile, lucky only at times.

After finding a box of collectible cards of Hollywood star portraits, the artists have reconstructed and redreamed the lives and careers of 100 actresses from the 1920s to 1950s.From oblivion to a new light.Suddenly, the careers of 100 Hollywood stars, from the roaring 1920s to the late 1950s, comes to a halt and from the height of success, the flattery of notoriety, and the seduction of power, 100 divas sink into the pain of oblivion and decline.This study puts these 100 actresses back into the limelight, actresses who have contributed to the history of cinema. It shows them for who they really were, that is, ordinary women: strong and fragile, lucky only at times.Born by chance, after finding a tin box full of many collectible cards given away with household products, this publication does not intentionally touch upon legends like Marilyn Monroe, Liz Taylor, Ava Gardner, Lana Turner, Greta Garbo, Bette Davis but instead recuperates 100 forgotten lives - and their filmography - of celebrities who, between their thirties and forties, ended up alone, some in wretched conditions or prey to alcohol and drug addiction, others able to reinvent themselves as mothers, career women, UN ambassadors, political activists, even scientific researchers, while yet others paid the price for being independent, with pregnancies and relationships disapproved by the film industry and the strict rules of a star system that is among the most efficient and pitiless in the world.
