Will Plain Jane Catch Her Playboy? Allison Crane exchanged her dumpy look for new clothes, a new "do," even a new attitude to help Dr. Jeff Hardison by playing his fiancée—and the ungrateful cowboy didn't even notice! It was bad enough that the entire town of Cottonwood, Texas, knew she'd been in love with the playboy Hardison brother since grade school. Now they all knew how he didn't feel about Allie. It was time to move on…. Then one wild, passionate night proved Jeff had noticed. And Allie got news that changed everything. Did she dare bare her soul to this man who might love her and leave her—on the chance that reformed playboys make the best Hardison husbands of all?

The Makeover in Movies
Author: Elizabeth A. Ford
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786417218
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
The plots of many films pivot on the moment when a dowdy girl with bad hair, ill-fitting outdated clothing, and thick glasses is changed into an almost unrecognizable glamour girl. Makeover scenes such as these are examined beginning with 1942's Now, Voyager. The study examines whether the film makeover is voluntary or involuntary, whether it is always successful, how much screen time it takes up, where in the narrative structure it falls, and how the scene is actually filmed. Films with a Pygmalion theme, such as My Fair Lady, Vertigo, and Shampoo, are examined in terms of gender relations: whether the man is content with his creation and what sort of woman is the ideal. Some films' publicity capitalizes on a glamorous star's choice to play an unattractive character, as discussed in a chapter examining stars like Bette Davis, Meryl Streep, and Cameron Diaz. Topics also include folk literature's Cinderella tale, men as the inspiration for makeovers in teen flicks films like Clueless, She's All That, and Me, Natalie, and class repositioning in such movies as Working Girl, Pretty Woman, and Grease. Photographs are presented in a before/after format, showing the change in the madeover character.
