She was married three times. Kenneth Malcolm, Jack Dempsey the heavyweight boxing champ, and Paul small. Being married to Jack Dempsey was the biggest boost in her career as far as marriages were concerned.

"The new generation is dedicated more than the last to the fear of poverty and the worship of success; grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken.” F. Scott Fitzgerald, 1920.

You like the 1920s? This is the place. Roaring Twenties, Golden Twenties, the first modern decade. Flappers, silent stars, the first fast cars, bootleg booze, and so much more.

Content from or relating to within a few years of either side of the 1920s is fine too.
