EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1920, the legendary writer, scriptwriter, and journalist Elinor Glyn (right) is seen in the company of the illustrious actress Gloria Swanson at the West Coast studios of Famous Players-Lasky Corporation. The setting was significant as Elinor had recently penned a screenplay, titled "The Great Moment," for a film starring Gloria. At the height of her fame, Elinor Glyn was a celebrated figure in the literary and film worlds. Her novels, such as "Three Weeks," had been bestsellers and had been adapted into successful films. Her ability to capture the essence of modern romance and the allure of the exotic made her a sought-after figure in Hollywood. Gloria Swanson, an actress of immense talent and charisma, was also a major star at Famous Players-Lasky. Known for her striking beauty and magnetic screen presence, she had already made a name for herself in films such as "Manslaughter" and "Anna Christie." The collaboration between Elinor and Gloria on "The Great Moment" was an exciting one, as the writer brought her unique storytelling abilities to the table, while the actress infused the script with her magnetic screen presence. The resulting film was a critical and commercial success, cementing the legacy of both women in the annals of Hollywood history. This photograph captures a moment in time when two extraordinary women came together to create a work of art that would captivate audiences for generations to come. The image is a testament to the power of creativity, collaboration, and the enduring allure of the silver screen.
