Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Aline Bernstein was a renowned American costume designer for theatres, and co-founder of the Museum of Costume Art. Her father was a leading actor, and Aline was raised amidst the excitement of the stage and the social complexities of theatrical boarding houses. "An Actor's Daughter", first published in 1941, is the highly readable and always fascinating account of that life. This is the 1987 reprint, issued in paperback format by Ohio University Press. *********************************** Thomas Wolfe, who was romantically involved with Bernstein from 1925 to 1929, based the character of Esther Jack on Aline Bernstein in his novels "Of Time and the River", "The Web and the Rock", and "You Can't Go Home Again". ********************************* Excerpted from the cover blurb : " Bernstein's characteristic vividness of language draws more than just a family portrait. The book presents a gallery of colorfully drawn individuals, including boarders, cooks, servant girls, and slightly unsavory neighbors. Nama, Bernstein's beautiful and irresponsible other aunt, occupies a central place in the story, living a life filled with excess, extravagance, and gentleman callers - a life punctuated by periodic lapses into drug addiction. In time, the family's way of life begins to deteriorate. As their credit with local merchants begins to collapse, the story takes on a poignancy made more intense by the author's evocative prose." ******************************************** TITLE : An Actor's Daughter / AUTHOR : Aline Bernstein (1880 - 1955) / IMPRINT : Ohio University Press / PLACE : Athens, Ohio / DATE : (1987) / EDITION : Reprint.
