We did use new material, specifically letters between Ziegfeld and Billie Burke. We were only 22 when we wrote the book and had no intention of making it a dense read on topics like feminism. My sister Sara took her life two weeks ago, partly due to our utter and complete failures as writers. We wrote one other book after “Ziegfeld” but needless to say, I will not be writing any others. Sara and I used to love writing but after having it picked at it and scorned, I wish we would’ve just stuck to writing for fun. Some people can’t take criticism that isn’t constructive, and Sara, as am I, are some of those people.
