It's only a few minutes long, but this cornerstone of early cinema captured a queer moment on film. It would not be the last. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e With\u003ci\u003e Hollywood Pride\u003c\/i\u003e, renowned film critic Alonso Duralde\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003epresents a history spanning from the dawn of cinema through the \"pansy 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 industry and charts the evolution of LGBTQ+ storytelling itself--the 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eoff\u003c\/i\u003e-\u003ci\u003eoff\u003c\/i\u003e-Hollywood productions in the 1960s and '70s.
