Of racially mixed heritage, Anita Reynolds was proudly African American but often passed for Indian, Mexican, or Creole. Actress, dancer, model, literary critic, psychologist, but above all free-spirited provocateur, she was, as her Parisian friends nicknamed her, an "American cocktail." One of the first black stars of the silent era, she appeared in Hollywood movies with Rudolph Valentino, attended Charlie Chaplin's anarchist meetings, and studied dance with Ruth St. Denis. She moved to New York in the 1920's and made a splash with both Harlem Renaissance elites and Greenwich Village bohemians. An émigré in Paris, she fell in with the Left Bank avant garde, befriending Antonin Artaud, Man Ray, and Pablo Picasso. Next, she took up residence as a journalist in Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War and witnessed firsthand the growing menace of fascism. In 1940, as the Nazi panzers closed in on Paris, Reynolds spent the final days before the French capitulation as a Red Cross nurse, afterward making a mad dash for Lisbon to escape on the last ship departing Europe. In prose that perfectly captures the globetrotting nonchalance of its author, American Cocktail presents a stimulating, unforgettable self-portrait of a truly extraordinary woman. 606 $aAfrican American women$vBiography 606 $aMotion picture actors and actresses$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American women entertainers$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American psychologists$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican American women 615 0$aMotion picture actors and actresses 615 0$aAfrican American women entertainers 615 0$aAfrican American psychologists 676 $a791.4302/8092 700 $aReynolds$b Anita Thompson Dickinson$f1901-1980.$0851546 701 $aMiller$b Howard M$070738 701 $aHutchinson$b George$f1953-$0851547 701 $aWilliams$b Patricia$0851548 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463927803321 996 $aAmerican cocktail$91901191 997 $aUNINA
