Maas, Frederica Sagor. THE SHOCKING MISS PILGRIM A Writer in Early Hollywood. Lexington KY: University Of Kentucky Press, c. 1999.
Binding and contents are almost like new. No DJ. ; Tan cloth, black lettering. Index. 16p b/w photos. AUTOBIOGRAPHY. Frederica Sagor Maas was a Hollywood screenwriter during the twenties, thirties, and forties. "This is a story that will make you angry. A similar story could probably have been told by many women in many industires at the time...as with any human endeavour, there was undeniably a dark side to the (Hollywood) community, and Frederica Sagor experienced it to the full. Working women were not valued in the twenties and thirties to the same extent as they are today, and ambitious men often treated them disgracefully...Nevertheless, what you are about to read is authentic. I may not agree with some of her opinions, but there can be no doubt that her story is important and should be as firmly on the record as the more traditional tales of triumph and achievement. This story is as fascinating as any tale of Academy Awards and million-dollar grosses, and it is all the more significant because of its rarity. Frederica takes us through a turbulent era - the best of times, the worst of times. She had great courage and was a staunch supporter of unpopular causes. "; 9-1/4" Tall; 264 pages. 0813121221.
