520    The influence of Jews in American entertainment from the 
       early days of Hollywood to the present has proved an 
       endlessly fascinating and controversial topic, for Jews 
       and non-Jews alike. From Shtetl to Stardom: Jews and 
       Hollywood takes an exciting and innovative approach to 
       this rich and complex material. Exploring the subject from
       a scholarly perspective as well as up close and personal, 
       the book combines historical and theoretical analysis by 
       leading academics in the field with inside information 
       from prominent entertainment professionals. Essays range 
       from Vincent Brook's survey of the stubbornly persistent 
       canard of Jewish industry "control" to Lawrence Baron and 
       Joel Rosenberg's panel presentations on the recent 
       brouhaha over Ben Urwand's book alleging collaboration 
       between Hollywood and Hitler. Case studies by Howard 
       Rodman and Joshua Louis Moss examine a key Coen brothers 
       film, A Serious Man (Rodman), and Jill Soloway's 
       groundbreaking television series, Transparent (Moss). 
       Jeffrey Shandler and Shaina Hamermann train their 
       respective lenses on popular satirical comedians of 
       yesteryear (Allan Sherman) and those currently all the 
       rage (Amy Schumer, Lena Dunham, and Sarah Silverman). 
       David Isaacs relates his years of agony and hilarity in 
       the television comedy writers' room, and interviews 
       include in-depth discussions by Ross Melnick with Laemmle 
       Theatres owner Greg Laemmle (relative of Universal Studios
       founder Carl Laemmle) and by Michael Renov with Mad Men 
       creator Matthew Weiner. In all, From Shtetl to Stardom 
       offers a uniquely multifaceted, multimediated, and up-to-
       the-minute account of the remarkable role Jews have played
       in American movie and TV culture.
