The Talmadge Girls

About this book

From the jacket flap: The lovely faces of Norma and Constance Talmadge are well known to all silent-movie buffs but most people dont realize that behind all that glamour were two extremely funny women who enjoyed their work immensely and never made the mistake of taking it too seriously. In this delightful memoir Anita Loos who wrote many scripts for them and became a close friend of the Talmadge family describes the antics not only of Norma and Constance - or Dutch as she was called - but also of their plain sister Natalie who was married to Buster Keaton and of their witty mother Peg whose sharp perceptions and tongue managed to get the girls into the limelight and keep them there.
