    Summary: 
    ""Celeste Holm Syndrome" is a series of essays about character actors in Hollywood cinema"--
    Lazar looks to our intimate relationships with characters, both well-known and letter known, from Hollywood's Golden Age. He veers through considerations of melancholy and wit, sexuality and gender, and the surrealism of comedies of the self in an uncanny world while also examining how essential character actors were, and remain, to cinema. -- adapted from back cover
