(1929). The film was based on the life of Queen Silver, known as a 20th-century child
prodigy, feminist, and Socialist activist. Basquette was noted for her 75-year career in
entertainment, which began during the silent film era. She was married nine times,
beginning with movie mogul Sam Warner, and boasted of affairs with men including boxer
Jack Dempsey and mobster Johnny Roselli. Retired from acting after 1942, she became a
prize-winning breeder of Great Danes. Corners lightly worn. Some stains on verso (no
