From the early years of the &#8216;talkies&#8217; through the beginning of the 1950s, they were secretly known as the Sewing Circle, and this is their story. Among them were Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Tallulah Bankhead, Katherine Cornell, Barbara Stanwyck, and Joan Crawford. Others whose secret lives are divulged for the first time: Maude Adams, Lynn Fontanne, Myrna Loy, Edith Head, Janet Gaynor, Jill Esmond, Elsa Lanchester, Isadora Duncan, Laurette Taylor, Libby Holman, Marjorie Main, Agnes Moorehead, and Dame Judith Anderson.<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Check for it on:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/gp\/search?tag=lesbianfun-20&amp;index=books&amp;field-title=Axel Madsen, The Sewing Circle\">Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/search?q=The Sewing Circle, Axel Madsen&#038;qid=\">Goodreads<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=bks&#038;hl=en&#038;q=Axel Madsen, The Sewing Circle\">Google Books<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Details<\/h2>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n .TFtable{\n  border-collapse:collapse; <\/p>\n<p> }\n .TFtable td{ \n  spacing:10px; border:#ffffff 5px solid; padding-right:20px<\/p>\n<p> }\n \/*  Define the text for all the 2nd columns  *\/\n .TFtable td:nth-child(2){\n  color: #0099ff;\n }\n<\/style>\n<table class=\"TFtable\">\n<tr>\n<td>ISBN<\/td>\n<td>9781861052056<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Genre<\/td>\n<td>Autobiography\/Biography; Entertainment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publication Date<\/td>\n<td>21-Oct-98<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publisher<\/td>\n<td>Robson Books Limited<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Format<\/td>\n<td>Trade Paperback<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No. of Pages<\/td>\n<td>240<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Language<\/td>\n<td>English<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rating<\/td>\n<td>NotRated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BookID<\/td>\n<td>11354<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Axel Madsen | The Sewing Circle | This is the documented story of some of the most glamourous women in the world who lived two lives &#8211; in public as larger-than-life romantic heroines o<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":20522,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4320,4379],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-autobiography-biography","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
