Oh my goodness! There are stars, and then there is the ultimate supernova, first glamour queen of silent pictures - Gloria Swanson. This 4'11" cinematic dynamo defined what it meant to be a movie star in the 1920's. She also lived a life as grand and dramatic to rival any of her movies. Swanson was an actress, film producer, fashion designer, fashion icon, author, business woman, radio host and television pioneer who still found time to marry six times! Swanson began her career in 1919 after being plucked out of crowd by a talent scout for her unconventional beauty and offered a contract pretty much on the spot. The rest is history.... During the 1920's. Swanson was a huge box office draw, with millions of fans and millions of dollars. Swanson was the captain of her own career. She wrote her own ticket, started her own film company, produced and starred in her own movies. But, after two decades in front of cameras, her film success began to wane during the 1930's and she began creating new paths for herself. Swanson threw herself into stage productions, painting and sculpting, political activism, and designing clothes and accessories. Then in 1950 came the film that put her back on the map. "Sunset Boulevard" was the story of a reclusive, aging silent film star who falls for a failed screenwriter assisting her in a comeback. This was, by Hollywood standards, considered one of the best films ever made, and it did garner Swanson's third Academy Award nomination. However, once the hoopla regarding this film died down, Swanson had begun to move on to the medium of television where she devoted most of the remainder of her career. Swanson was a vegetarian and early health food advocate, she loved perfumes, supported mandatory school prayer, and once designed a stamp cachet for the United Nations Decade for Women, and was honored with two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Glorious Gloria Swanson, by far, one of the most fascinating women of her time; of any time! She died at 84 years of age from a heart ailment.
