Marilyn Miller

How was it a symbol of the era.
No role in the Harlem Renaissance?

I know it was a major star of musicals in the 1920s, it tended to play the rags to riches-roles, as in his biggest hit "Sally". It has been rumored to have been the mistress of Ziegfeld, but it was never proved. She made a few movies, but they were not particularly successful. She married three times, her first husband was killed in a car accident about a year after their marriage, her two other husands only stayed with her for very short periods. I suspect that his image would be glamorous, carefree, so perhaps fast enough to the person, who would be symbolic of the 20s.
