Jazz Age Beauties - Robert Hudovernik
Despite Prohibition, the '20s was the decade of jazz, flappers and hip flasks. Compiled here for the first time are more than 200 publicity stills and photos of some of America's first "It" girls--the silent film-era starlets who paved the way for the cacophony of Monroes and Madonnas to follow. While some took their vote and joined the Woman's Christian Temperance Movement, others, well, took liberties.
When rare and striking portraits of these women surfaced on the internet in 1995, author Robert Hudovernik began researching their source. Accompanying these iconic images are the stories behind them, including accounts from surviving Ziegfeld Girls, as well as ads featuring them that helped perpetuate the allure of It girl glamour. What he discovered was the work of one of the first "star makers" identified most with the Ziegfeld Follies, Alfred Cheney Johnston.
