The Skyrocket
1926, English. Directed by Marshall Neilan.
A Thrilling Story of a Girl's Meteoric Rise to Stardom-and Her Welcome Swish Back to the Arms of Her Man!
In the prologue Sharon Kimm and Mickey Reid are childhood friends in a tenement neighborhood but are separated when Sharon is placed in an orphanage. In the story we see Sharon as a young Hollywood star whose quick rise to fame leaves her self-centered, superficial, and a spendthrift. Ironically, the film that skyrocketed her to fame was written by Mickey. But her success is brief; and when it comes crashing to earth, Mickey is there to pick up the pieces.
