Butterflies in the Rain: A Tale of Old Hollywood," has all the elements of a classic Hollywood story: youth, beauty, glamour and tragedy. Silent-film era Hollywood dramatically awakens as the setting of a story that is part Hollywood memoir and part family saga, as three grandsons embark on a twenty-year search for the life, art, and tragic end of a starlet who was killed at 24 returning from a Universal set. The story unfolds across a continent and an ocean, eight generations and four centuries. The world knows all about the stars of the silent-film era, the Pickfords and Fairbanks, Garbos and Chaplins; now there is a burgeoning interest to recover from the long night of cinematic oblivion, those starlets whose light was eclipsed by the glow of these stars or by Fate.
