Careers in Film and Television series. This series provides an overview of the work actors, set designers, costumers, and makeup artists do. Readers may glean some useful facts from the descriptions of particular actors or productions; less information is provided about daily life in the industry. Boxed text is occasionally inserted into the middle of expositions on other topics. The visuals (mostly movie stills) are generally well chosen. Reading list, websites.
