Download or read book Olive Borden written by Michelle Vogel and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2010-03-24 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The all too brief career of film star Olive Borden (1906–1947) is chronicled in this definitive biography. Apprenticing in short slapstick silent comedies, the vivacious Virginia-born actress rose to stardom after signing with Fox in 1925, enlivening such films as John Ford’s 3 Bad Men (1926). Borden’s career declined after she severed her ties with Fox, and by the early 1930s she was finished in Hollywood. Alcoholism and a devastating series of personal setbacks hastened her death at age forty-one. Olive Borden’s controversial contract debacle with Fox and her long-term relationship with actor George O’Brien are thoroughly detailed. Personal anecdotes and insights are offered by Ralph Graves, Jr., who befriended Borden in the late 1920s. Dozens of heretofore unattributed screen appearances by the actress are included in the filmography.

Book Synopsis Lizzie Borden on Trial by : Joseph A. Conforti
Download or read book Lizzie Borden on Trial written by Joseph A. Conforti and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people could probably tell you that Lizzie Borden “took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks,” but few could say that, when tried, Lizzie Borden was acquitted, and fewer still, why. In Joseph A. Conforti’s engrossing retelling, the case of Lizzie Borden, sensational in itself, also opens a window on a time and place in American history and culture. Surprising for how much it reveals about a legend so ostensibly familiar, Conforti’s account is also fascinating for what it tells us about the world that Lizzie Borden inhabited. As Conforti—himself a native of Fall River, the site of the infamous murders—introduces us to Lizzie and her father and step-mother, he shows us why who they were matters almost as much to the trial’s outcome as the actual events of August 4, 1892. Lizzie, for instance, was an unmarried woman of some privilege, a prominent religious woman who fit the profile of what some characterized as a “Protestant nun.” She was also part of a class of moneyed women emerging in the late 19th century who had the means but did not marry, choosing instead to pursue good works and at times careers in the helping professions. Many of her contemporaries, we learn, particularly those of her class, found it impossible to believe that a woman of her background could commit such a gruesome murder. As he relates the details, known and presumed, of the murder and the subsequent trial, Conforti also fills in that background. His vividly written account creates a complete picture of the Fall River of the time, as Yankee families like the Bordens, made wealthy by textile factories, began to feel the economic and cultural pressures of the teeming population of native and foreign-born who worked at the spindles and bobbins. Conforti situates Lizzie’s austere household, uneasily balanced between the well-to-do and the poor, within this social and cultural milieu—laying the groundwork for the murder and the trial, as well as the outsize reaction that reverberates to our day. As Peter C. Hoffer remarks in his preface, there are many popular and fictional accounts of this still-controversial case, “but none so readable or so well-balanced as this.”
Download or read book Lizzie Borden written by Edward D. Radin and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a hot August moring in 1892, Mrs. Abby Borden was tidying up the guest room in her house in Fall River, Massachusetts. Someone entered, carrying an ax. An hour and a half later her husband, Andrew J. Borden, lay down to take a nap on the sitting-room sofa. Again someone entered, ax in hand. The two violent, brutal murders shocked the country. And when, a week later, police arrested Lizzie Borden, a Sunday-school teacher and ardent church worker, and charged her with having killed her father and her stepmother, interest in the crimes became world-wide. It stands today as the most famous of all American murder cases. Lizzie Borden ahs become an American legend. She has been immortalized in novels, plays, articles, books, legal opinions, an Agnes De Mille ballet, and in verse: "Lizzie Borden took an ax / And gaver her mother forty whacks. / When she saw what she had done / She gaver her father forty-one." At the end of a sensationalist, headline-making trial, the jury acquitted Lizzie, and no one else was ever charged with the murders. Was Lizzie innocent, as the jury said? Or guilty, as the verse states? It is difficult to believe that a young woman with Lizzie's background could have committed such brutal crimes, but the man who wrote what students of the case have long accepted as the authoritative work on her trial concluded that she was guilty. In Lizzie Borden: The Untold Story, after nearly three years of research, Mr. Radin presents a fascinating picture of the real Lizzie Borden, her life and times, her trial and its aftermath -- a picture which casts new light on the murders and turns most of the opinions on the case upside down. He answers the question of Lizzie's guilt brilliantly. He discovers a completely unsuspected and shocking literary hoax. He examines a recently discovered confession and proves it to be a forged document. He supplies new facts and produces long-unknown trial testimony which enables the reader himself to name the shadowy person who used the ax. In short, he solves the case seventy years after the fact. It is a revealing story of an unusual woman as well as a brilliant job of detection. Lizzie Borden: The Untold Story is the new and definitive work on the famed Fall River Tragedy.
