Mae Murray (1885--1965), popularly known as "the girl with the
bee-stung lips," was a fiery presence in silent-era Hollywood.
Renowned for her classic beauty and charismatic presence, she
rocketed to stardom as a dancer in the Ziegfeld Follies, moving
across the country to star in her first film, To Have and to Hold,
in 1916. An instant hit with audiences, Murray soon became one of
the most famous names in Tinseltown. However, Murray's moment in
the spotlight was fleeting. The introduction of talkies, a string
of failed marriages, a serious career blunder, and a number of
bitter legal battles left the former star in a state of poverty and
mental instability that she would never overcome. In this
intriguing biography, Michael G. Ankerich traces Murray's career
from the footlights of Broadway to the klieg lights of Hollywood,
recounting her impressive body of work on the stage and screen and
charting her rapid ascent to fame and decline into obscurity.
Featuring exclusive interviews with Murray's only son, Daniel, and
with actor George Hamilton, whom the actress closely befriended at
the end of her life, Ankerich restores this important figure in
early film to the limelight.
