The Face of Fame
Description
In this film, the power and creation of fame and celebrity are explored through the art forms of portraiture and photography. Though renowned fame and celebrity status are not the same, the public has a similar appetite for devouring images and information about the rich and famous, as Simon Schama explores through examples including Horatio Nelson, Kitty Fisher, and the beloved Princess Diana. View works of art housed at the National Portrait Gallery in London and photographs of starlets including Marilyn Monroe and Greta Garbo.
