As for the stars, whose stories are so brilliantly narrated, they somehow bring back to one's mind Billy Wilder's famous Sunset Boulevard although the intrigue between the elder star Lady Mendl and the young emerging one, Tony Duquette, take quite a different path."

All Illustrations are Tony Duquette's Authors Hutton Wilkinson and Flynn Kuhnert will take you on a delightful romp, starting on June 11th, 1936 with Tony Duquette being packed off, from the family house in Three Rivers, Michigan, at the age of 16 to drive to Los Angeles to his Aunt Lu's home. Tony as he was driving in his Yellow Lincoln ZEPHYR, thought of his mothers parting words. Words he'd heard like a relentless mantra all his life, ' darling you have a vision, a true vision. You're a genius. And unlike your foolish mother, you're not going to settle for anyone or anything. Absolutely no compromises. If you work your heart out, there isn't anything you can't do. You could go to New York and work on the Ziegfeld Follies one day, or with George White on the scandals. Or you could go to Hollywood and work with Arthur Freed or Cedric Gibbons.' Then would come his mother's real zinger. or . if really applied yourself, you could travel on a steamship to France and worked for Elsie to Wolf at Versailles. Now that would be a real feather in your cap !' Elsie de Wolfe was my mother's idea of greatness: a self-made woman, who didn't need any man to support her or tell her what to do. LC told men what to do, as she'd been the very first woman to do business with a man in the million dollar range. Elsie de Wolfe wasn't born rich or beautiful, but she had made herself both. Tony Duquette, mapped out his own life and save them all. You will read how he meets Elsie de Wolfe and many of the adventures that they experienced. the book is peppered with all the great names in Hollywood, because Elsie had a way of charming them, invitations to her dinners, soirées and various homes were much sought after. he likes of Gregory Peck, Vincente Minnelli, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, New York decorator, James ( Jimmy ) Pendleton and his wife DoDo. you will be able to attend many parties including the one that the Pendleton's gave for the Lady Mendel ( Elsie de Wolfe ).

Here for the first time the reader will find information that was passed down from Tony Duquette to Hutton not previously published. The walk to Elsie's is a tale of irrepressible joy amidst loss, determine re-birth, self innovation and more importantly continuance, it is a journey which irrevocably brings together two diverse personalities . apparent iconoclasts who just happened to be the most fabled of the 20th century taste makers.
