The Silent Screen & My Talking Heart: An Autobiography (Hemingway western studies series) 3rd ed.

Autobiography of pioneering silent screen actor, writer, director, editor and producer Nell Shipman. Shipman's films have women heroes assisted by animal actors and are shot on location in wilderness settings, mid-winter unto sunny summer. Many are photographed by Academy Award winning cinematographer Joseph Walker. Her surviving films--all available from the IFC on DVD--are remarkable and are in excellent condition! TSS&MTH was completed shortly before Shipman's death in 1970. The current edition has b&w photos, filmography, maps, endnotes, index and an "Afterword" by the star's son, screenwriter Barry Shipman.
