- Gloria Swanson was a glamorous and popular silent film star often directed by Cecil B. DeMille. She made the transition to talkies in the late 1920s. Today she's best known for her role as Norma Desmond in the 1950 film "Sunset Boulevard." She published her autobiography in 1980.

Large book full of details that the author wrote late in life. Gloria Swanson had more than one career beside silver screen star and author---she often designed her own clothing; some was reproduced and sold at / for Neiman Marcus. And she was a painter. She also talks about her dramatic health problems (when she found a lump her doctor told her to stop eating protein to "starve" it). I read the book because of her connection to William Dufty (husband number five) who wrote Sugar Blues.
I read this book when I was a kid (well, parts of it) and I swore I'd never watch another Wallace Beery movie again.

Also, I loved that 2/3 of the book was silent movie era reminiscence.
Lastly: I loved the quote she used from [b:The Prophet|2547|The Prophet|Kahlil Gibran|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1355046521s/2547.jpg|2938937]:
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.… (más)
