4.9/5 (23492 ratings)

Description:In the history of the movies, thousands of men, women, children, and even animals have tried to find success as a movie star. They were drawn from theater, opera, sports, and every type of entertainment venue, and some even came from out of nowhere. Men and women, young and old, took valiant stabs at entrancing audiences with their faces, personalities, or peculiarities. A precious few achieved greater popularity than anyone could have ever dreamed, but others vanished beneath the sands of time along with the films they so lovingly made. They gave us their most audacious efforts, but they did not find any lasting success, or having enjoyed a brief blush with triumph, they returned home to their true métiers. Some simply never found a second chance. This book celebrates the memorable attempts of ten who tried to be a movie star. They shot across silver screens like comets, but they all disappeared like falling stars.Chapters include:Helen Keller: The Most Unlikely Movie Star Enrico Caruso: Double TroubleMary Garden: Blooming in the Wrong SeasonBabe Ruth: Strike ThreeOtis Skinner: Kismet LostAnna Pavlova: A Swan Out of WaterEleonora Duse: In Transit Lottie Pickford: Doomed to the Shadows Harry Houdini: The Disappearing Act Maude Adams: The Movie Star Who Never WasAuthor and film historian David W.
