About this listen

Cari Beauchamp masterfully combines biography with social and cultural history to examine the lives of Frances Marion and her many female colleagues who shaped filmmaking from the early teens through the 1940s.

Frances Marion was Hollywood's highest paid screenwriter - male or female - for almost three decades, wrote almost 200 produced films and remains the only woman to win two Academy Awards for original screenwriting (The Big House and The Champ). Marion's story reveals the importance and the power of female friendships as well as the history of today's #TimesUp movement.

"I felt an almost subversive thrill reading about Frances Marion.... Cari Beauchamp lovingly reveals the women who climbed to the very top of the Hollywood hierarchy in this richly researched excavation of complex lives. It is a revelation." (Lynda Obst, New York Times)

"An astonishing mini-history of the 20th century.... Marion knew everyone from Jack London to Irving Thalberg to William Randolph Hearst." (Jeanine Basinger, Los Angeles Times)

"With clarity and intelligence, the book forces us to reconsider our assumptions about women's history and about the history of the arts." (Hank Sartin, Chicago Tribune)
