The lives of 35 actresses are explored in detail. Some are familiar: Margaret Hamilton starred in dozens of films before and after her signature role as the Wicked Witch in \u003ci\u003eThe Wizard of Oz\u003c\/i\u003e; Una Merkel nearly died when her mother committed suicide in 1945. Others are nearly forgotten: Maude Eburne owed her career to a spectacular fall on the Broadway stage in 1914; Greta Meyer, who played the quintessential German maid, came to Hollywood after years in New York's Yiddish theater--though she wasn't Jewish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Axel Nissen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786497327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786497324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Axel Nissen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120195727615,"sku":"9780786497324","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_877d487e-fd23-43b0-bce4-04c2dbd26de2.jpg?v=1687413040","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/accustomed-to-her-face-axel-nissen-9780786497324","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
