Actress

The personal life of the legend of the Irish stage, Catherine O'Dell, was also a grand theatrical performance. The most devoted viewer of this performance was the actress's daughter, Nora. But both on stage and in life, her mother remained a mystery to her.
…Years later, Nora writes a memoir in which she tries to understand the actress adored by the public, who conquered the stages of London and New York… a woman who completely devoted herself to art and men… a mother who never revealed her daughter's father's name.
