| Abstract
|
:
|
"Evelyn Brent's life and career were going quite well in 1928. But by the end of that year Brent was headed for a quick, downward spiral ending in bankruptcy and occasional work as an extra. What happened is a complicated story laced with bad luck, poor decisions, and treachery detailed in the first and only full-length biography"--Provided by publisher.
