Recently finished reading The Talmadge Girls by Anita
Loos. This book is an anecdotal biography of film stars Norma Talmadge
and Constance Talmadge (and to a lesser extent Natalie Talmadge, the
sister who married Buster Keaton). It is a very good read. I liked Loos'
writing so much (her own life story is intertwined with that of the
Talmadge sisters) that I followed it up with a dip into the recently
published Anita Loos Rediscovered. Some day I will have to read more about Loos' life and career. She is a really interesting figure.
