Her career began as a dancer with the Ziegfeld Follies, and soon she was receiving film offers from both MGM and Paramount, mingling with the high and mighty of Hollywood, having a passionate affair with Charlie Chaplin, spending weekends at William Randolph Hearst's castle and captivating such men as William S. Paley, the founder of CBS. Cowie celebrates Lulu with rare film footage stills, private photos, letters, interviews, and text, exploring this influential cult figure and abiding symbol of the Jazz Age.
