Description:The curtain rises and authors JoAnn Chartier and Chris Enss shine the spotlight on 14 entertaining women who sang, danced, acted in plays, performed equestrienne feats, and captured the hearts of the miners and homesteaders of the Frontier West. These "gilded girls" who performed in the mining boomtowns were literally showered with gold, but oftentimes their personal lives were marked by unhappiness. Still, their very presence on stage enchanted avid western audiences, and they were rewarded with flowery reviews and sensational editorials by local newspapers, as well as riches. Their every action was commented upon, but rarely did reporters know the whole story. Chartier and Enss now reveal what many people of the times never knew about these sometimes rowdy, sometimes refined female celebrities by providing a unique inside look at their lives via this collection of intriguing biographies.Maude Adams: The Most Popular Actress in America 3 --Mary Anderson: Self-Made Star 15 --Sarah Bernhardt: The Divine Sarah 29 --Mrs. Leslie Carter: Passionate Player 43 --Caroline Chapman: Shakespeare to Slapstick 55 --Catherine Hayes: The Irish Prima Donna 65 --Matilda Heron: Star of the American Theater 73 --Lillie Langtry: The Jersey Lily 83 --Adah Menken: The Frenzy of Frisco 97 --Helena Modjeska: Polish Phenomenon 109 --Lucille Mulhall: Cowgirl 123 --Kate Rockwell: Flame of the Yukon 133 --Lillian Russell: America's Beauty 145 --Sarah Kirby Stark: Pioneer Manager 157We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
