Author Cherie Burns ~ Searching for Beauty: The Life of Millicent Rogers

Feb 22, 2012

Community Library – Cherie Burns will talk about her book and share photographs from Millicent Rogers life in her presentation. Burns is the first to write a comprehensive biography of the Standard Oil heiress and fashion icon.  Rogers lived a life emblematic of the first half of the Twentieth Century. From New York, Southampton, Paris, Austria, Washington, D.C. and  Hollywood to Taos, New Mexico she created a sensation and invariably left a  stylist impression. After three husbands and a series of lovers that included Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl, James Forrestal and Clark Gable, Rogers settled in New Mexico and reinvented herself a final time in an unpredictable resolution to her high-flying history.  

"Millicent Rogers is truly an American Legend and Cherie Burns has finally given us a wonderful biography about her!"
