  Between 1917 and 1941, Hollywood film studios, and gossip columnists featured an unprecedented number of homosexuals, cross-dressers, and adulterers in their depictions of the glamorous Hollywood lifestyle. This book demonstrates that the Hollywood studios used images of these sexually adventurous characters to promote the movie industry.
