Just Me by WHITE, Pearl

Perhaps the first memoir written by a film celebrity, Pearl Whites Just Me gives a first-person account of the actress rise to stardom. White guides us through her early childhood, her development as a performer, and finally to her breakout role in The Perils of Pauline--a role that made her the most popular serial queen of early cinema. Although romanticized and somewhat embellished, this book gives us a fascinating glimpse into the film industrys earliest years and the various myths of film stardom. (Summary by ChuckW)
