Beschreibung

Lillian Lorraine was a naive 15-year-old chorine on Broadway when she attracted the notice of the notorious 41-year-old Florenz Ziegfeld. Accustomed to getting what he wanted, Ziegfeld took Lillian under his wing and into his arms, giving her coveted numbers in the Ziegfeld Follies and taking control of her career. But Lillian's rebellious spirit chafed against him, refusing to play according to his rules, and nearly destroying her own career in the process. The Adored One follows her through rise and fall after rise and fall as she comes of age in a world where her youthful beauty was an asset-and a liability.

"Talented, beautiful, fiercely independent, flighty... there aren't enough adjectives to describe the intensely sympathetic and heartbreakingly reckless Lillian Lorraine... Buckle up; it's a wild ride. I enjoyed The Adored One immensely."

- Mitchell James Kaplan, author of Rhapsody

"Broadway of over a hundred years ago comes vividly to life in this story of the enchanting showgirl Lillian Lorraine. You will cheer for this gorgeous survivor all the way."

- Stephanie Cowell, American Book Award winner and author of Claude & Camille and The Boy in the Rain
