Lou-Tellegan, a youth from the Netherlands, became one of the most celebrated men in the world. Before he was famous, he was a boxer, a circus trapeze artist, a nude Rodin model, and an eager but obscure actor with Eleonora Duse. Renowned actress Sarah Bernhardt made him a star, and Geraldine Farrar, the greatest singer in the world, married him. Hollywood snapped him up for silent movies, and Lou lived life to the fullest by making and spending millions. He could speak five languages, and he had been a renowned stage actor, but topsy turvy Hollywood spiraled into chaos during the industry's transition from silence to sound, and he fell victim to producer's uncertainty. He spent his last days living in a tragic mansion haunted by mysterious suicides and untimely deaths. Distraught, unemployed, and without hope, on one dark day, the magic of his incredible storybook life came suddenly to a shocking end that stunned the entire world. The rise and fall of Lou-Tellegen is revealed in a richly researched biography, a detailed filmography, and hundreds of rare photographs that capture the glamour and excitement of Hollywood's Golden Era. This video contains excerpts from The Rise and Fall of Lou-Tellegen by David W. Menefee, and they are included here with the author and publisher's permission.
