How did Laurette Taylor (1884-1946) become America's most
celebrated actress? What training and experience led to her first
stage success, Peg o' My Heart, in 1912? How did her failed 1920s
silent film career influence her stage technique? What was so
remarkable about her portrayal of Amanda Wingfield in the original
1945 Broadway production of The Glass Menagerie that many actors
and critics have proclaimed her performance as the greatest they
have ever seen, before or since? How did alcoholism affect her
career? And why has it been so difficult to tell her story on stage
and screen?
This biography offers fascinating new insights into the life
and craft of Laurette Taylor. Included is a very short play written
by the actress, entitled The Dying Wife.
