A “very politically correct, wholesome family show”
In January 1993, the US television station CBS premiered a new TV drama about Michaela Quinn—a Boston doctor who moved alone to the Colorado frontier to establish her medical practice. Seymour’s biography played a critical role in the initial promotion of the show. The character of Dr. Quinn, as Seymour played her, was a feminist in the Hillary Rodham Clinton vein, and the show’s drama primarily revolved around Quinn’s gender deviance and issues …
Watergate-ing’ Norman Mailer’s Marilyn
In 1973, Norman Mailer published a work of creative nonfiction about the life of the actor Marilyn Monroe, entitled Marilyn: A Biography. Released amid a wave of American nostalgia for the 1950s and during the Watergate investigation, the book was upheld as evidence of a ‘witch-hunt’ Watergate culture. In this article, I will analyse the initial reception of Marilyn and its affective history. Situating Marilyn at the intersections of biography, N…

The past is present
History, celebrity and everyday experience are often intimately woven together in ways that scholars have not yet rigorously investigated through the lens of temporality. In this article, I will examine the discursive convergence of unlikely narratives – often through the historical happenstance of their simultaneous occurrence – and argue that such convergences are fundamental to the ways in which celebrity life narratives circulate, evolve and …
