Marie Prevost: The Beautiful and the Damned


She studied her reflection and grimaced at the voluptuous curves that graced her body which had once been long and narrow; the ideal look for the flapper.

"Oh, Marie! What a fascinating little minx!" her fans would cheer. But her deaf ears only heard the screeching tires and her mother's bloodcurdling yelp which followed the tragic accident.

"Drink soothes my wounds," Marie would say, "And Maxie is always here for me."

Her fame grew thin as her body grew thick; perhaps that's why Maxie, her little dachshund, found her so appetizing as he took another bite into her lifeless body.

A/N: For those who do not know, Silent Film Star, Marie Prevost, appeared in many movies, often playing a flapper. Notably, she appeared in an adaption of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Beautiful and the Damned' in 1923. Her tragic death, according to her death certificate, was noted as heart failure. Many believed it was due to her crash diets and alcoholism, however, there is a lengthy rumor that her little dachshund ate off of her corpse, for her body was found with bite marks on her legs.
