Book Presentation:
Anita Page (1910-2008) first captured attention near the end of the silent film era in such classics as While the City Sleeps (1928) with Lon Chaney, The Flying Fleet (1929) with Ramon Novarro, and her own favorite, Our Dancing Daughters (1928) with Joan Crawford. In a relatively short career, Page enjoyed critical acclaim. She appeared in the first full-sound movie to win Best Picture, The Broadway Melody (1929).

With a foreword by her close friend, actor Randal Malone, this reference work is the first to fully detail Page’s remarkable career, including a biography and a complete listing of all her films, along with her one stage appearance and her returns to the limelight in later years.

Entries provide complete production information, reviews and behind-the-scenes commentary. Dozens of photos and revealing anecdotes complete a portrait of a fascinating yet underappreciated performer.

About the authors:
Robert Murdoch Paton is a cinephile and collector currently working in cinema and projection. He lives in the United Kingdom.

Press Reviews:
"Fans of Anita Page will certainly want to snap this up, [and] the book will also appeal to followers of motion picture history in general, especially of the silent era."—David C. Tucker, Gale Storm: A Biography and Career Record
