"This biography recounts the early life of this superstar as well as her coronation
on Broadway, her work in silent film, and her sexual liaisons. It also covers her
eventual disappearance from public life, her alcoholism and her death, which went
largely unnoticed. The book includes first-hand personal anecdotes and observations
from recently discovered tapes"--Provided by publisher
