Flaming Youth: Colleen Moore
The girl woman hybrid that is Colleen Moore (1899-1988) helped define the flapper of the 1920s. According to The Great Gatsby author F. Scott Fitzgerald, ""I was the spark that lit up Flaming Youth, Colleen Moore was the torch." Lost film Flaming Youth (1923) was purchased for her by her fiancé John McCormick and adapted into a smash hit. Unfortunately McCormick became verbally abusive when he drank, and Moore divorced him after seven years in their Bel-Air mansion together. After retiring from film relatively early, Moore turned her attention to her spectacular miniature Fairy Castle which she built with her father and is housed in the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry today.
