Comments on: The rise and fall of Mae Murray http://www.queensofvintage.com/the-rise-and-fall-of-mae-murray/ The online magazine for vintage lovers Tue, 22 May 2012 20:38:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Hala Pickford http://www.queensofvintage.com/the-rise-and-fall-of-mae-murray/#comment-2508 Hala Pickford Fri, 28 May 2010 09:51:55 +0000 http://www.queensofvintage.com/?p=7837#comment-2508 There's a little too much poision in the writer's writing for me to enjoy this piece, though I do love Mae Murray and how crazy she went (take THAT Lindsey Lohan!) And I take offense to not only the notion that silent stars had talkie myth syndrome, but that their 'gilded egos' did em in instead. More like sad sad circumstances when a grouping of people with family histories of alcoholism and mental illness are given lots of money and put in the spotlight (if you look at a lot of their blood descendants you can see just what I mean). Like now. The 20s were the start but by no means an exception (Florence Lawrence to Marilyn Monroe to again Lohan...same ol same ol.) Someone said they were doing a new bio on Mae...I hope they do!

That word denotes something unsavory, does it not? My dictionary defines that word as having a bad reputation, which the Follies did NOT have. In fact, the opposite is true.

I am inspired to find out more about the mad Mae Murray now. Please can we have more about icons from the past- men too, like Douglas Fairbanks and Rudolph Valentino. Brilliant article.
