He is Robert Vane--the greatest actor of the
English theater in a generation, dashing, hand-
some, clearly touched by genius
She is Felicia Lisle the most glamorous,
beautiful and romantic of actresses, his partner
onstage, his lover in life, whose career suddenly
brings her new fame and an Oscar as she stars in
Hollywood s most successful movie.
Together they are the greatest theater couple of
the age, their romance, onstage and off, captivat-
ing the world for nearly twenty years. But their
public performances express their love and
desire for each other better than they ever can in
private. For behind the scenes, their lives are full
of dangerous secrets and broken promises. At dae
moment of her greatest triumph, Felicia Lisle is
overcome by her own fears and by the horrors of
a past she knows she cannot keep hidden forever.
And Robert Vane, driven by his enormous ambi-
tion and haunted by the fear that he has failed to
give Felicia the love she needs and demands,
plunges into a close friendship with Randy
Brooks, America s most beloved comedian, and
into a fatal business relationship with Marty
Quick, showman, vulgarian, and full-time
womanizer.
With a love affair of incomparable passion and
rich sexuality, a background of London theater at
its grandest and Hollywood at its most decadent,
with vibrant characters whose lives will resonate
for readers, Curtain sweeps toward an inevitable
climax of bloody revenge and sacrifice echo-
ing the great Shakespearean tragedies in which
the Vanes have spent their lives.
Michael Korda combines brilliant storytelling
with a special inside perspective to create a tanta-
lizing portrayal of the scandalous lives of these
celebrated actors and their glittering circle.
