Book excerpt: When she was a little girl, K H Rafferty stumbled onto a photograph of her great-aunt, Evelyn Fariss. After an inquiry led her to learn that Evelyn was a silent movie star, Rafferty was thrilled. As she matured and curiosity led her to research her family history, Rafferty eventually pieced together a biographical story that details her great-aunt’s adventures, told in Evelyn’s voice. In a remarkable tale, Evelyn details how the exploitation that ended her adolescence led her to a new beginning filled with adventure, fame, fortune, lust, fraud, blackmail, murder, prosecution, institutionalization in a mental hospital, and a lifelong search for love that spawned ten marriages. As she traces a career path that began with the Ziegfeld Follies and continued with offers to play significant parts in silent movies, Evelyn reveals how her fame led her to become known as the Million Dollar Baby of the New York theater scene. But it was not long before Evelyn’s poor decisions in life and love soon turned her fortunes into misfortunes and her name more infamous than famous. Sister E X is a fascinating biography that details a young woman’s endless quest for fame, fortune, and love as she searched to fill the void left by her stolen childhood.
