À propos de cette écoute
Hollywood, 1920
Alla Nazimova has reached the pinnacle of success. She is the highest-paid actress in town, with a luxurious estate, the respect of her peers, adoration of her fans, and a series of lovers that has included the first wife of her protégé, Rudolph Valentino.
But reaching the top is one thing. Staying there is an entirely different matter.
Nazimova dreams of producing a motion picture of Oscar Wilde's infamous Salomé. It will be a new form of moviemaking: the world's first art film.
But the same executives at Metro Pictures who hailed Nazimova as a genius when she was churning out hit after hit now turn their backs because her last few movies have flopped.
Taking matters into her own hands, Nazimova decides to shoot Salomé herself. But it means risking everything she has: her reputation, her fortune, her beautiful home, and even her lavender marriage. But will it be enough to turn her fortunes around? Or will Hollywood cut her out of the picture?
From the author of the Hollywood's Garden of Allah novels and based on a true story, Chasing Salomé takes us inside Nazimova's struggle to achieve a new level of stardom by raising the flickers to an art form.
