It is 1914, and twenty-five-year-old Frances Marion has left her (second) husband and her Northern California home for the lure of Los Angeles, where she is determined to live independently as an artist. But the word on everyone's lips these days is "flickers"--the silent moving pictures enthralling theatergoers. Turn any corner in this burgeoning town and you'll find made-up actors running around, as a movie camera captures it all. In this fledgling industry, Frances finds her true calling: writing stories for this wondrous new medium. She also makes the acquaintance of actress Mary Pickford, whose signature golden curls and lively spirit have given her the title of America's Sweetheart. The two ambitious young women hit it off instantly, their kinship fomented by their mutual fever to create, to move audiences to a frenzy, to start a revolution. But their ambitions are challenged both by the men around them and the limitations imposed on their gender--and their astronomical success could come at a price. As Mary, the world's highest paid and most beloved actress, struggles to live her life under the spotlight, she also wonders if it is possible to find love, even with the dashing actor Douglas Fairbanks. Frances, too, longs to share her life with someone. As in any good Hollywood story, dramas will play out, personalities will clash, and even the deepest friendships might be shattered. With cameos from such notables as Charlie Chaplin, Louis B. Mayer, Rudolph Valentino, and Lillian Gish, The Girls in the Picture is, at its heart, a story of friendship and forgiveness. Melanie Benjamin perfectly captures the dawn of a glittering new era--its myths and icons, its possibilities and potential, and its seduction and heartbreak. 600 10 $a Pickford, Mary, $d 1892-1979 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Marion, Frances, $d 1888-1973 $v Fiction. 600 17 $a Marion, Frances, $d 1888-1973. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00180925 600 17 $a Pickford, Mary, $d 1892-1979. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00006375 651 0 $a Hollywood (Los Angeles, Calif.) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Motion picture actors and actresses $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women screenwriters $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Female friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922609 650 7 $a Motion picture actors and actresses. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027096 650 7 $a Women screenwriters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178516 651 7 $a California $z Hollywood. $z Hollywood. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01312041 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726208 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Farr, Kimberly, $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190202010922.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5D60E2C6058B11E8AD6CEA2E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
