Résumé

The cult of film stars remains unexplored in Portugal. This article aims to study the presence of Portuguese stars during the 1920s, which is often considered the golden age of stardom. The Portuguese actress Brunilde Júdice was selected as a case study. Indeed, according to Portuguese critics and cinephiles, Júdice was regarded as the most distinguished and mythical actress of the silent film era. Furthermore, this article will delve into the role of promotional film stills in shaping the star’s image, especially concerning the vamp archetype.
