Captain of Her Soul

Klappentext
"Lara Gabrielle finally buries the canard that Marion Davies was anything like Orson Welles's Susan Alexander from Citizen Kane. With hard-earned access to Davies's family and friends, Gabrielle has created a deeply sourced, delightfully told story of a rich, complicated life. With Captain of Her Soul, we finally meet Marion Davies as her own woman—talented, funny, generous, and a wonderful friend."—Cari Beauchamp, author of Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Powerful Women of Early Hollywood

"Gabrielle has unearthed a treasure trove of previously unpublished material that provides valuable new insights into Marion Davies's storied life and career."—Leonard Maltin, film critic and historian
