Mark RappaportOverview
Joan Crawford's close-up in Humoresque. Michelangelo's David and Boticelli's "Birth of Venus".

Mark Rappaport describes his fascination for the Austrian actor Turhan Bey, who made a career in exotic roles in Hollywood in the 1940s. A very personal essay about the effect of close-ups, the canvas idols of the dream factory and the role of their admirers and fans.
