Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a Ziegfeld Follies girl and film actress, Justine Johnstone (1895–1982) was celebrated as “the most beautiful woman in the world.” Her career took an unexpected turn when she abruptly retired from acting at 31. For the remainder of her life, she dedicated herself to medical research and social activism. As a cutting-edge pathologist, she contributed to the pre-penicillin treatment of syphilis at Columbia University, participated in the development of early cancer treatments at Caltech, and assisted Los Angeles physicians in oncology research. As a divorced woman in the 1940s, she adopted and raised two children on her own. She later helped find work for blacklisted Hollywood screenwriters and became a prominent participant in social and political causes. The first full-length biography of Johnstone chronicles her extraordinary success in two male-dominated fields—show business and medical science—and follows her remarkable journey into a fascinating and fulfilling life.

Book Synopsis Scandals and Follies by : Lee Allyn Davis
Download or read book Scandals and Follies written by Lee Allyn Davis and published by Amadeus Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Davis (author, lecturer and theater critic) revisits the legendary talents and the often outrageous impresarios who brought them to Broadway. Beginning with Florenz Ziegfelds's Follies of 1907, he tells how other producers were soon drawn to the revue and how its zaniness and spectacle became funhouse mirrors to the Jazz Age itself. The revues' madness and extravagance were replaced with social satire and political comment in the following decades and, finally, were dimmed by the advent of television. The book contains many bandw photographs. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
