“It has laughs, studio atmosphere galore, intimate glimpses of various stars, considerable Hollywood geography, and just enough sense and plausibility to hold it together.” —Variety
This little-silent classic stars the luminous Marion Davies in a story that, in some ways, parallels the star’s own rise to Hollywood fame. Author Lara Gabrielle — whose new book, Captain of Her Soul: The Life of Marion Davies, will be available at the event — will join us to discuss Davies’ career, her life partnership with tycoon William Randolph Hearst, and the differences between the Davies many thought they knew and the real woman. This program is made possible in part by a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
