Znaczenie mitu w budowaniu marki osobistej hollywoodzkiego aktora
A hundred years ago, Hollywood became the cradle of the American film industry. It soon began to dictate standards and canons, including the shaping of actors’ personal brands. Back in that time, their profession was the exclusive domain of a ‘selected’ few who were granted the status of goddesses and heroes, with the fans idolizing their cinematic and private image. With the passage of time and the concomitant social and legal changes, the brand strategy of screen celebrities has evolved. The moral revolution in the second half of the twentieth century brought the trend of displaying one’s sexuality, generating new myths of the sex bomb and the playboy. These, in turn, were refuted with an appeal to the archetype of professionalism by inscribing mastery of the craft in the core brand message and significantly reducing non-professional content.The purpose of the article is to present the evolutionary direction of a Hollywood actor’s mythbased personal brand strategy. By demonstrating the process of altering the strategies of image creation, the paper draws conclusions regarding the identity change of Hollywood actors. It shows their path of gradually freeing themselves from the constraints imposed by their idealization and simultaneously emphasizing the work put into improving their vocational skills, which allows them to strengthen their professional position.The research carried out in the article is based on secondary sources (books, articles, films, thematic websites) dealing with the subject of American cinema and covering the biographies of Hollywood actors.

La regina delle scene e l’imperatore spettatore. Sull’amicizia della Ristori con D. Pedro di Orleans e Bragança
Adelaide Ristori inaugurated the transatlantic route, triumphing for half a century in theatres around the world and earning the title of ‘queen of the scenes’ endorsed by D. Pedro II, emperor of Brazil. They cultivated an intense friendship, mostly epistolary. They wrote to each other about literature, common acquaintances and travels; however, the actress freely expressed her opinions on current events, while the emperor preferred to comment on performances, acting styles and new repertoires. Observers of an era that saw the end of the Empire in Brazil and the construction of a united Italy, they shared a romantic gaze that did not exclude a heated curiosity about the politics of the present. The public role that Ristori assumed, not giving up being her role as first actress in order to be wife and mother as well as marquise, constituted a model of female emancipation that changed the social perception of the profession. The fact that as ‘queen of the scenes’ she was honoured by kings and emperors gave her a kind of soft power that Cavour valued as a ‘patriotic apostolate’. The diplomatic mission that Ristori took on contributed to the formation of an Italian national identity and was not out of place at the Brazilian court. Showing admiration for the dramatic art, D. Pedro a progressive and cosmopolitan government project, but firmly anchored in European culture. According to him, he was inspired by the ‘enlightened’ government of the Savoys, whom he also approached through Ristori.
