Description: Evelyn Brent's life and career were going quite well in 1928.

This biography details Brent's story.
Synopsis: Evelyn Brent's life and career were going quite well in 1928. She was happily living with writer Dorothy Herzog following her divorce from producer Bernard Fineman, and the tiny brunette had wowed fans and critics in the silent films "The Underworld" and "The Last Command". She'd also been a sensation in Paramount's first dialogue film, "Interference". But by the end of that year Brent was headed for a quick, downward spiral ending in bankruptcy and occasional work as an extra. What happened is a complicated story laced with bad luck, poor decisions, and treachery detailed in the first and only full-length biography.
