198276959New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons 1982. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Format is approximately 5.75 inches by 8.75 inches. 284 4 pages. Illustrations. Inscribed on half-title by Kent and Dierdre Parrot believed to be her son Kent Parrot. Clearly a family association perhaps from O'Hara's first husband. Gift note signed by Kent and Dierdre Parrot laid in. Cut signature of author pasted on title-page this autobiography was published posthumously so there are no actually signed copies. Mary O'Hara Alsop July 10 1885 - October 14 1980 was an American author and screenwriter. She married her third cousin Kent Kane Parrot in 1905 against her father's wishes. Following the end of her marriage to Parrot Mary O'Hara worked as a Hollywood screenwriter during the silent film era. Her screenwriting credits included the movies The Last Card 1921 The Prisoner of Zenda 1922 Braveheart 1925 and Framed 1927. Her best known and loved works were: My Friend Flicka 1941 Thunderhead 1943 and Green Grass of Wyoming 1946. Derived from a Kirkus review: This is a tart curtly eloquent posthumous memoir. Marriage #1--to handsome distant lawyer/cousin Kent--was a well-bred disaster: Father disapproved. Childbirths were horrific; physical love was a grim disappointment; Los Angeles life was arid with jealous outbursts from Kent. The misery of divorce followed. Mary found solace in writing music for profit and in her quiet rise as an in-demand writer for Hollywood silents. And Hollywood brought husband #2: Helge a Swedish refugee/film-extra who claimed royal blood and dreamed of Wyoming ranches--which led to Mary's horse life to Flicka and its successors. The celebrity years however also brought divorce #2 and frustrations in trying to bring a Wyoming musical to Broadway. For those without preconceptions: a vivid memoir by a remarkable subtly strange woman--sharply phrased edgily candid with evocative glimpses of such varied worlds as 1890s European spas 1920s Hollywood and N.Y. publishing in the '30s.
