Colleen Moore was one of Hollywood's best and brightest actresses.
When she bobbed her hair to separate herself from the actresses
around her, Moore not only kick-started her career but motivated women around the country to follow suit when women
had to go to men's barbers to do it.
When Moore and her family decided in the late twenties to build a doll
house for her lifelong collection of miniatures, she created a different sort of craze--among specialists from Chicago to
Asia.
Maven's own favorite stories are about the polar bear rug that she
had made out of an ermine skin.
The taxidermist couldn't leave the "bear's" mouth open (no plastic
then for "bearly there" teeth!) so Colleen was suprised to see the polar bear's looking like it could bite her.
The taxidermist told her that he remembered that he had a mouse trap
. . . and did a little unothorized mouse dental work!
Definitely a book well-worth checking out!
