The Last Insider of Silent Hollywood
posted January 16, 2012
Frederica Sagor Maas told all in her 1999 memoir.
Frederica Sagor Maas is dead at 111, but not before telling all about silent-era Hollywood.
The prolific screenwriter first trained to be a doctor, and then a journalist, and after quitting Hollywood in disgust said she would have preferred to be a washer woman.
The movies? Maas gave up on them, too, saying in 1999: “The product they’re making today is even worse than the product we made in the early days.”
The New York Times reports.
