Summary: | This study examines the construction of the celebrity image in Singapore. Using video documentation as a mode of research, the authors attempt to de-layer the various levels of image construction of an up-and-coming Television Corporation of Singapore actress, Phyllis Quek.

The relationship between the celebrity and the media in Singapore is also placed under scrutiny. |
