‘The Humanity Behind The Mask of Celebrity’

Stardust: 100 Years of Stage, Screen and Celebrity is the primary exhibition to be held in Hundred Heroines’ new, bigger gallery and museum area in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire.

“This is the perfect opening exhibition for our new gallery. It’s a celebration of the remarkable women who photographed the famous faces of the twentieth century, and gives us the chance to share some of the hidden gems in our archive,” Del Barrett, curator and founding father of Hundred Heroines, says of Stardust: 100 Years of Stage, Screen and Celebrity. “The move marks an exciting new chapter for Hundred Heroines, and I’m excited about welcoming the first visitors through the doors in September.”

“When Hundred Heroines approached me to take part, saying yes was an easy decision! Seeing my own work exhibited alongside that of Lallie Charles, Dorothy Wilding, and Madame D’Ora has been an honor,” Jillian Edelstein, the exhibition’s featured artist, says. “My portraits included here reflect the humanity behind the mask of celebrity, the person behind the persona. We see them as more than the fame, more than the hype of modern-day fame. They become real and infinitely more moving as a result.”
