This Art Deco diamond bracelet was owned by Lois Moran Young acknowledged inspiration to F. Scott Fitzgerald for Rosemary in "Tender is the Night".
Born Lois Darlington Dowling in Pittsburg, she loved dance. Her mother took her to Europe to study as a young girl; by thirteen she had danced with the Paris Opera and had been photographed by Man Ray, when she was discovered by Samuel Goldwyn. Returning to the United States, she had starred with Ronald Coleman in "Stella Dallas" at the early age of fifteen. As a film actress, Ms. Moran, who was in demand, was frequently lent to other studios where she was featured as a lead in a variety of roles in the fast growing American movie industry in Hollywood.
Ms. Moran increased her credits further by moving her talent to Broadway, making her debut in "This is New York" and later starring in George S. Kaufman's "Off Thee I Sing". Then when early television beckoned, she starred opposite Peter Foster in the early series "Waterfront".
In 1935, she married Col. Clarence M. Young, who later became vice president of Pan American Airways. It was then that she slowly retired from the entertainment world she loved so much, and in 1968 moved to Sedona, Arizona where she lived until her death in 1990. She will always be remembered by the audiences she charmed.
