Description
FROM THE SILENT SCREEN TO HOLLYWOOD?S GOLDEN AGE TO the threat of heartbreak for the greatest talent of all, four women are caught in a web of love and fame. A runaway to California, Crystal Rivers rises from an extra to stardom on the silent screen, guided by the director who is her Svengali, in love with the stunt man turned star whose pride makes him take deadly risks for the camera. Her two daughters look for love in Hollywood?s Golden Age during World War II, one as a nurse in the South Pacific, the other chasing the limelight her mother renounced to tie her fate to a nightclub owner connected to the mob. Crystal?s granddaughter is the first serious actress in the family. Her love for the boy she grew up with is thwarted, even as her career takes fire, and marriage on the rebound leads to tragedy and the near destruction of her life and career.
