Damsels and Divas examines the careers of three European stars of silent Hollywood: Pola Negri, Vilma Bánky and Jetta Goudal. Through the interrogation of their star personae − as depicted by their on-screen presence, film magazines, fan letters, popular press and promotional material – it analyses the meanings of Europeanness and whiteness in the United States.
