Without Lying Down

In this compelling audiobook, Cari Beauchamp delves into the life of Frances Marion, Hollywood's highest-paid screenwriter for nearly thirty years, and the influential women who shaped the film industry from the early 1900s through the 1940s. Highlighting Marion's remarkable accomplishments—such as her two Academy Awards and her contribution to nearly 200 films—this narrative also explores the significance of female friendships and their impact on today's #TimesUp movement. Richly researched and engagingly told, Beauchamp's work encourages listeners to rethink women's roles in both history and the arts.
