This is the hardback version.
The true story is finally told about Jeanne Eagels, legendary Broadway actress (as Sadie Thompson in Somerset Maugham's Rain) and film star (as Leslie Crosbie in The Letter.) She lived a life of renown, yet her rocky path to fame--with its many struggles and triumphs--propelled her into increasing- ly erratic behavior, culminating in a shocking ending that stunned the entire world. This fully revised and updated edition includes new revelations and details from Eagels herself and family and friends about her Midwestern childhood; her chaotic personal life; her uncompromising artistry; and her lifelong battle with inner demons. Illustrated with a refreshed collection of 150 rarely seen images.
