Made In Hollywood - Italian Americans in Film
Italian immigrants made significant early contributions to the development of Hollywood's film industry in roles behind the camera like set designers and artisans. However, on screen they were often typecast in stereotypical roles as gangsters, buffoons, or exotic lovers. These stereotypes were perpetuated in early 20th century films written and directed by white Anglo-Saxon Protestants and reflected the prejudices of the time against southern and eastern European immigrants. Famous actors like Rudolph Valentino helped popularize the "Latin lover" stereotype despite having a personal life unlike his screen personas. By the 1930s with the advent of talking pictures, these stereotypical portrayals of Italian Americans had become firmly established in American cinema.
