GIRLS by Diana Mclellan
Early Hollywood described Sapphic stars ranging from the great Nazimova to Marlene Dietrich, Tallulah Bankhead, and Garbo herself as "The Girls", lesbian affairs, it was widely felt at the time, expanded your emotional range, nurtured your amour propre, kept your skin clear and eyes bright, burnished your acting skills, and even - as director Josef von Sternberg believed - exerted a powerful and androgynous magnetism through the camera's lens, attracting the unwitting desires of both men and women in the audience as they watched through the dim, smoky air of the movie house. This book lifts the veil from the lives of Hollywood's most powerful and uninhibited goddesses.
Diana McLellan's nationally syndicated column, The Ear, appeared for over 10 years in The Washington Star, The Washington Post and The Washington Times. Her byline has graced leading newspapers and magazines worldwide, and topped decades of reportage as Washington Editor of The Washingtonian.
