The true story is finally told about Jeanne Eagels, legendary Broadway actress (as Sadie Thompson in Somerset Maugham’s Rain) and film star (as Leslie Crosbie in The Letter.) She lived a life of renown, yet her rocky path to fame—with its many struggles and triumphs—propelled her into increasing- ly erratic behavior, culminating in a shocking ending that stunned the entire world. This fully revised and updated edition includes new revelations and details from Eagels herself and family and friends about her Midwestern childhood; her chaotic personal life; her uncompromising artistry; and her lifelong battle with inner demons. Illustrated with a refreshed collection of 150 rarely seen images.
