Oh, thanks for all the recs - I must bookmark this page!

I remember the name Clara Bow from around, and it may be that her voice wasn't the only reason she started losing work, but it was certainly cited in the book as one of the reasons. Glad to hear she ended up okay (well, as long as she wasn't also a horrible person deep down, or anything... *g*) I know I've seen films/read books where it was claimed that this or that silent star never worked again when talkies took over, because of their voice.

Actually there's a fab send-up of that kind of attitude, which I remember from years ago on telly in Manchester... let's see if I can find it on YouTube... Nothing to do with silent films or talkies really, but... the story of Clara Bow reminded me of them! *g*
