| Summary: | "Heather Kiernan brings Georgia Hale back to life in this edition of her hitherto unpublished memoirs. Research work embodied in her perceptive introduction clears up many uncertainties about Georgia's life and provides an outline, especially of its most significant years." "Georgia's own chief purpose was to describe her long and close relationship with Chaplin, and his dual personality which made the relationship at times a love-hate one. As Chaplin's constant companion during the years 1928-1931, she became a part of his social circle, meeting people as diverse as Marion Davies, Sergei Eisenstein, Ralph Barton, and Albert Einstein. The memoir effectively ends with Chaplin's marriage in June 1943 to Oona O'Neill." "Included in the editor's introduction are extracts from Georgia's unpublished correspondence, which reveal her as a remarkable personality and throw further light on Chaplin as she came to know him. This unique book contains illustrations from the Chaplin archive, most of which are published here for the first time."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
