This book itself is fairly uncommon in the trade, but I am unable to find another signed copy currently available anywhere, and a search of historical auction records does not find any signed copy having been sold in the past. I am aware of just one other signed copy in a private collection. Dagmar Godowsky (1897 -1975) was an American silent film actress, who was quite popular during the 1920's, but, as with many silent film stars, did not make the transition to sound films, and so her popularity faded after her last picture in 1926. Her father was the celebrated composer Leopold Godowsky, and as a result, she knew and interacted with virtually all of the major celebrities of the time from both the film world and the music world. In 1958, she published this candid autobiography ("apparently uninhibited but in fact heavily self-censored"), which, for the 1950's, was quite open about her many romantic relationships. In it she wrote, "I lived only for pleasure and I spoiled my own fun. Where was I running? From whom? Little feet running around the globe. Nothing but circles, and I never once bumped into myself." Her story may have been "self-censored", but in the book, she named Enrico Caruso, Arthur Rubinstein, Jascha Heifetz, Charles Chaplin, Igor Stravinsky, and Rudolph Valentino among her "great loves." When queried about the number of husbands she had, Godowsky responded, "Two of my own, my dear, and several of my friends'." (It must be noted that Rubenstein's biographer later disputed some of her claims about her involvement with the great pianist.) Overall, a very scarce signed copy of an engaging narrative of a fascinating life. Signed.…
