The Man Who Lit Lady Liberty is an award-winning biography of a groundbreaking migrant actor who enjoyed meteoric overnight stardom and suffered profound heartbreak in a dramatic arc that rivals anything created for the stage. Actor, silent-movie pioneer, producer, real-estate, developer, murder suspect, and the only citizen to personally pay to light the Statue of Liberty, M. B. Curtis and his culturally relevant story encompass the highs of celebrity and fame as well as the lows of failure, illness, and a faltering career. The Man Who Lit Lady Liberty rescues this story from the archives of forgotten history and reexamines an actor whose creativity and cultural influence are still important today. Book jacket.
