The touching true story of a young 1920s lsquo;flapperrsquo;; who dreamed of becoming a chorus girl lsquo;Early that January; there was snow on the ground; and Victoria Carmen took a violent chill. I played Principal Boy in her place. At last! MARJORIE GRAHAM was all alone in electric lights outside the Kingrsquo;s Theatre; Edinburgh!rsquo; Born into an ordinary Edinburgh family in 1904; Marjorie Graham was expected to grow up like any other respectable girl. But her childhood dance classes with friends instilled a burning desire in her: to be a star. She couldnrsquo;t have chosen a better time. As the roaring Twenties of jazz; Gatsby and glamour flared into life; young Marjorie got her first break as a chorus girl. But the glamour of being a lsquo;flapperrsquo; brought with it hidden dangers; an altogether darker world of failed love affairs; poverty and addiction to drinkhellip; From chorus girl; to actress; to raconteur and everything in between; this is the touching; tragic story of an ordinary woman with an extraordinary zest for life; whose name was destined to be up in lights.
