‘It’ Girls Exposed

Despite Prohibition, the ’20s was the decade of jazz, flappers and hip flasks. While some took their vote and joined the Woman’s Christian Temperance Movement, others, well, took liberties. Compiled here for the first time are more than 200 publicity stills and photos of some of America’s first “It” girls–the silent film-era starlets who paved the way for the cacophony of Monroes and Madonnas to follow.
When rare and striking portraits of these women surfaced on the internet, author Robert Hudovernik began researching their source. What he discovered was the work of one of the first “star makers” identified most with the Ziegfeld Follies, Alfred Cheney Johnston.
