  Hollywood in the 1920s - where stars were created, glamorized and lionized, and where child-star Francis Gumm took her first step on te path that was to rocket her to worldwide fame and fortune. This biography examines the legend and strips away its glittering veneer. Revealed is a lonely woman desperately searching out love and affection, emotions she only discovered in the adulation of her millions of fans. Kept going by pills and the pressure of those eager to abuse and exploit her, she was driven to breaking point, but still the magic lingered on. By the author of Matriarch , The Road to Tara , Sonya: The Life of Countess Tolstoy , Vivien Leigh , Katherine Hepburn and Early Reagan .
