From their first iconic pairing in 7th Heaven (1927) and in eleven
films that followed, Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell created an
unparalleled cinematic romance. Their partnership was so utterly
complete that in the minds and hearts of their adoring public, they
were as one. Even though both enjoyed successful solo careers-Janet
Gaynor won the first Best Actress Oscar and played Vicki Lester in
the original A Star Is Born (1937) and Charles Farrell enjoyed a
successful television career, playing Vern Albright on My Little
Margie-their work as a team stood out. Even decades after their
onscreen partnership ended, any mention of Gaynor in the press
merited a mention of Farrell, and vice-versa. Behind the camera,
Gaynor and Farrell carried on a secret romance that lasted from
their first meeting in 1926 until Gaynor's first marriage in 1929.
Supporting and encouraging each other's lives beyond Hollywood,
they were able to maintain a mellow friendship that lasted their
entire lives. Drawing upon previously unpublished interviews with
Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor, formal interviews with family and
friends who knew them best, and meticulous archival research,
author Sarah Baker details the fascinating behind the scenes story
of the greatest romantic team of all time. The book includes a
detailed filmography and is lavishly illustrated with over 100
photographs, many from Charles Farrell's estate. Includes a
foreword by director Allison Anders (Grace of My Heart, Things
Behind the Sun).
