Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Powerful Women of Early Hollywood | Cari Beauchamp
1 post | 2 read | 2 to read
Cari Beauchamp masterfully combines biography with social and cultural history to examine the lives of Frances Marion and her many female colleagues who shaped filmmaking from 1912 through the 1940s. Frances Marion was Hollywood's highest paid screenwriter—male or female—or almost three decades, wrote almost 200 produced films and won Academy Awards for writing "The Big House" and "The Champ."

Old Hollywood. A time when the flicks were just beginning and women were in every aspect of filmmaking: producing, directing, writing, editing and acting. The career of Frances Marion should be as famous as that of DeMille. She was there from the beginning as a writer and artist with silents and talkies. Then the movie business began to make serious money and men became more interested. Women were nudged aside and pushed out. True story.
