Anne Stewart: A Most Successful Failure (2008)
Like many of the legends of Hollywood's 'Golden Age', Anne Stewart came from a traditional Jewish family and reinvented herself into a glamorous starlet and socialite. To some, her scandalous life confirmed her status as the 'black sheep' of the family. Others saw her as a beacon, which pointed the way out of the narrow confines of her culture and into the larger world. 

This documentary was constructed from interviews with Anne’s sisters, cousins and daughter, letters, archival footage plus Anne’s large collections of news clippings and photos that span the 1920’s up to her death in 2002. Whether Anne Stewart was a success or a failure is up to the viewer to decide. It is with this mixed message that Anne called herself, “a most successful failure.
