Desperately Seeking Marie Prevost

“I have looked for a book on Marie Prevost for a great many years and never found one, so I am thrilled that Richard Kirby has put pen to paper and written what I believe to be the first biography of this tragic star. I am a big fan of Richard’s work and I’m sure that fans of the silent screen will be just as pleased as I am to have this very special book in their collection.”

- Michelle Morgan, author of Marilyn Monroe: Private and Confidential

Desperately Seeking Marie Prevost takes a look back at the life and work of a beautiful, talented, yet ill-fated actress, who was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars of the 1920s.

Richard Kirby was born in York in 1964, and this is his second BearManor Media publication.

"Kirby provides a sensitive portrayal of Prevost’s life based on the scant knowledge about her."
