SILENT STAR

by Colleen Moore ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 2, 1967

When she was a little girl back in Tampa, Florida, Colleen Moore kept a movie scrapbook which is essentially what this is--the story not only of how she came to be the film flapper of Flaming Youth but also a soundtrack on the other great names of the '20's--Gloria Swanson and Charlie Chaplin and Valentino (no more sex appeal than a ""lemon"") and Jean Harlow and Paul Bern (everything that Shulman said was untrue) etc. etc. On the whole, Miss Moore who was quite an innocent in what was essentially an innocent if flamboyant age, doesn't upstage anyone and tells about her own unhappy marriage to a periodic drinker who ended up constantly drunk with wide-eyed (one was blue, one brown) candor. It's not much more than marginalia--footprints in the sands of time and Grauman's Chinese.
