Jacket by Jeanette Warmuth
Illustrated by Jay
Novelist and screenwriter Gene Markey might not have been the most handsome man in Hollywood, but, romantically, he was one of its great success stories. He wed and divorced three glamorous actresses—Joan Bennett, Hedy Lamarr, and Myrna Loy. Loy said of him, “He could make a scrubwoman think she was a queen.” This jazz age novel concerns showbiz types attempting to make it in Long Island society.
“That’s the trouble with you American husbands—you’re so kind to your wives that they lose interest in you.”
--Gene Markey
