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. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 $a Pickford, Mary, $d 1892-1979 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Marion, Frances, $d 1888-1973 $v Fiction. 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. 651 1 $a Hollywood (Los Angeles, Calif.) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Biographical. $2 bisacsh 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 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 600 17 $a Pickford, Mary, $d 1892-1979 $v Fiction. $2 sears 600 17 $a Marion, Frances, $d 1888-1973 $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a Hollywood (Los Angeles, Calif.) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Actors $z United States $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Women screenwriters $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. $2 sears 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 0 $a Biographical fiction. 655 4 $a Biographical fiction. 655 4 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726537 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 sears 941 $a 0 $n 1 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2A04AB0EAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
