The dawning of the nineteenth century brought with it a new era for
entertainment. Vaudeville was the preferred form of entertainment,
until the popularization of the silent film. This new medium proved
to be a draw for many of the stars of the Vaudevillian stage and
soon they migrated to the exciting possibilities that the movies
had to offer. Audiences were instantly enthralled and captivated by
the stars of the silent screen. The early days of Hollywood were
full of glamour and a newfound decadence. The stars in these films
were instantly catapulted to fame and fortune and the spotlight of
the public eye. The real people behind the glamour were far
different than the characters that audiences grew to know and love
and much like Hollywood today, the lives of the stars were often
full of scandal and debauchery. This book examines the forgotten
scandals of yesterday, featuring silent and silver screen stars
like Jean Harlow, Mae West, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin and
Errol Flynn. Don't let the romanticized black and white world of
yesterday fool you, their stories are rife with sex, drugs and
murder.
