Description:
The 1920’s Hollywood silent screen actress Barbara La Marr was a legend in her time. Her life was described as "a wilder story than she ever helped to film." Sherri Snyder, actress, writer, and author of Barbara La Marr: The Girl Who Was Too Beautiful for Hollywood, portrays Barbara in a self-authored performance, then a slideshow lecture about her scandalous life from her humble beginnings to her tragic death at age twenty-nine in 1926.
The program will spotlight Barbara's banishment from Los Angeles at age seventeen for being "too beautiful," her notable careers as a dancer, vaudevillian, screenwriter, and an actress, her impact upon cinematic history, and her fierce determination to forge her own destiny amid the constant threat of losing it all to scandal and, ultimately, death. A question-and-answer session and book signing follow the performance and lecture. A great program to celebrate Women's History Month!
