The Forgotten Flapper <\/em>(Release date August 1st, 2015)
\n<\/em>
\nA presence lurks in New York City\u2019s New Amsterdam Theatre when the lights go down and the audience goes home. They say she\u2019s the ghost of OLIVE THOMAS, one of the loveliest girls who ever lit up the Ziegfeld Follies and the silent screen. From her longtime home at the theater, Ollie\u2019s ghost tells her story from her early life in Pittsburgh to her tragic death at twenty-five.
\nAs a winner of \u201cThe Most Beautiful Girl in New York\u201d contest, shopgirl Ollie modeled for the most famous artists in New York, and then went on to become the toast of Broadway. When Hollywood beckoned, Ollie signed first with Triangle Pictures, and then with MYRON SELZNICK\u2019s new production company. She became most well known for her work as a \u201cbaby vamp,\u201d the precursor to the flappers of the 1920s.<\/p>\n

After a stormy courtship, she married playboy JACK PICKFORD, MARY PICKFORD\u2019s wastrel brother. Together, they developed a reputation for drinking, club-going, wrecking cars, and fighting. And also with giving each other expensive make-up gifts. Ollie’s mysterious death in Paris\u2019 Ritz Hotel in 1920 was one of Hollywood\u2019s first scandals, ensuring that her legend lived on.<\/p>\n
