Synopsis

NAMED BEST SILENT FILM BOOK OF 2011 by Thomas Gladysz in the San Francisco Examiner.

Lou-Tellegan, a youth from the Netherlands, became one of the world’s first international stage and film stars. Before he became famous, he was the son of a Dutch military general. Lou worked as a boxer, a circus trapeze artist, and as a nude model in Paris for Auguste Rodin. He became a dedicated stage actor with Italy’s most famous actress, Eleonora Duse. When France’s renowned actress, Sarah Bernhardt, plucked him from obscurity with a four-year contract, she remade him into her rich and world-famous co-star. Hollywood snapped him up for silent movies. Opera singer Geraldine Farrar married him after a whirlwind romance, but on one dark day, the fairy tale magic of his incredible storybook life came suddenly to a shocking end that stunned the entire world. Discover his incredible yet true life and astounding career through a richly researched biography and a detailed stage and filmography profusely illustrated with hundreds of rare photographs that capture the glamor and excitement of Hollywood’s golden years. Appendix. Bibliography. Index.

This 2021 Second Edition is a revised and expanded version of the original 2011 First Edition.
