520 1 $a"For a decade Wallace Reid was the most recognized face in silent film. Today all that is widely remembered of Wally is that he died in a padded room, the victim of morphine addiction. Of all the actors who have enjoyed great fame only to vanish from the public eye, Reid perhaps fell fastest and hardest." "This first full biography recounts Reid's complicated childhood, his disrupted family history and his rise to film stardom. It explores in depth how the studio turned the popular star, a well-adjusted man with a loving family, into a drug-dependent mental patient within three years. His death rocked the foundations of Hollywood, and the huge new industry that he helped build nearly died with "Dashing Wally Reid.""--BOOK JACKET.
