Some were even monsters themselves  such as Elsa Lanchester as the Bride  and Gloria Holden as Draculas Daughter. And while evading the Strangler of the Swamp  former Miss America Rosemary La Planche is allowed to rescue her leading man. This book provides details about the lives and careers of 21 of these cinematic leading ladies  femmes fatales  monsters  and misfits  putting into perspective their contributions to the films and folklore of Hollywood terror--and also the sexual harassment  exploitation  and genuine danger they faced on the job. In a previously unpublished account  Bride of Frankensteins Anne Darling remembers when  at age 17  she was humiliated on-set by director James Whale over the color of her underwear. Filled with anecdotes and recollections  many of the entries are based on original interviews  and there are numerous old photographs and movie stills.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946230673461,"sku":"ByrdShop_078642334X","price":88.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780786423347.jpg?v=1769932137","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/women-in-horror-films-1930s","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
