Rebecca Rosenberg, best‑selling author
Uncorking women's pasts across the globe, one glass at a time
This is no ordinary speakeasy act. This is Silver Dollar Tabor, a woman who traded the glitter of burlesque for the raw power of the jungle, a woman who defied expectations and danced with danger itself.
prestigious editorial review
"Following the success of Gold Digger (2019), Rebecca Rosenberg delivers a sparkling and fiercely tragic biofic of Baby Doe Tabor’s daughter, the dazzling Silver Dollar Tabor. This is really the tale of both Baby Doe and her daughter. Anchored around a 1932 frame story, Baby Doe tries desperately to save her husband’s legacy, a failing silver mine in Leadville, Colorado. She works with Silver’s old friend, Carl Erickson, to write his movie about the Tabors. Flashback chapters reveal all that Baby Doe doesn’t know about her daughter's difficult life.
Admirers and the envious whispered Dale Winter's name. Beauty and stage presence propelled her through the Ziegfeld Follies, her star soaring on Broadway. Hollywood beckoned, and her sophisticated allure made her a sought-after actress, though true superstardom eluded her grasp. Newspaper columns chronicled her every move, from stunning gowns to her whirlwind social life. She epitomized Jazz Age elegance.
In my Roaring Twenties novel, Silver Echoes, Dale Winter eerily foreshadows Silver Dollar Tabor's future as Silver descends into darkness.
