Shooting Star: The Last of the Silent Film Stars

by Chili Bouchier

'An unusually candid showbiz memoir. Miss Bouchier recalls her life with engaging honesty.' - JEFFREY RICHARDS, THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'With a vigorous and fulsome manner Chili takes us through a life lived to the full. A most warmly commended and remarkable book.' - A.W. DODD, NOSTALIGIC MAGAZINE. Chili Bouchier was born in London in 1909. She entered films at the age of seventeen and within a year became England's first sex symbol - known as England's 'IT' Girl and England's Clara Bow. Chili made a successful transition into Talkies in 1929. She has been part of the movie scene for nearly seventy years and is the last surviving star of the Silent Screen. Chili's book is not a typical show-biz autobiography but the true story of a woman's life with its ups and downs, triumphs and failures, joys and sorrows - and some paranormal experiences.
