Summary/Abstract: The essay aims to define the connection between the social environment and the mainstream cinema in the America of the fifties. It also highlights the most important reasons for the apparition of the star system, and its effects projected on the society. The case is illustrated through a well known movie, "How to Marry a Millionaire" (1953), starring Marilyn Monroe, the most popular actress of her time. The representation of Monroe's body underlines the connection between Hollywood and the early life of consumerism.
