"I don't act this way to change the world. I act this way so that the world won't change me."-- Patricia Charbonneau in 'Desert Hearts' Singing Dancing Trying Crying as The Act is but an act. Intangible at that. She may be silent, but She is strident in action. Later, She is given a voice. But, The Lady thespian, assaulted by The Gaze, is subjected as the objected by the subjected and the objected. Greta Garbo dominates the Pre-Codes. Betty Davis hesitates but follows the new ones. Miss Monroe, the ideal *** erases Her history, creating a new toxic one: "Look and touch as you please, Mr. President." Singing Dancing Trying Crying "Blame the woman for everything" say 'Ordinary People' and the Academy salutes you. Look Lady, shoot to 'Kill Bill' for a manly thrill to be remembered still... Still waiting for change... Legally, a Blonde has brains, too. But who knew that twists and turns and changes can happen to you? All from Her: Singing Dancing Trying Crying on the big screen. You just can't touch Her.

'A Short History of The Woman On-Screen'
