The lives of 35 actresses are explored in detail. Some are familiar: Margaret Hamilton starred in dozens of films before and after her signature role as the Wicked Witch in \u003ci\u003eThe Wizard of Oz\u003c\/i\u003e; Una Merkel nearly died when her mother committed suicide in 1945. Others are nearly forgotten: Maude Eburne owed her career to a spectacular fall on the Broadway stage in 1914; Greta Meyer, who played the quintessential German maid, came to Hollywood after years in New York's Yiddish theater--though she wasn't Jewish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAxel Nissen\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of American literature in the Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages at the University of Oslo in Norway.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50845236986130,"sku":"9780786497324","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_d45e1f08-17c5-4a0e-8220-e07d31543150.jpg?v=1737345040","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/accustomed-to-her-face-thirty-five-character-actresses-of-golden-age-hollywood-9780786497324","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
