- Love and Ruin in the Shadows of Hollywood and the Clark Empire

Bag om Twilight Man

The unbelievable true story of Harrison Post--the enigmatic lover of the richest man in 1920s Hollywood--and the battle for a family fortune.At the turn of the 20th century, William Andrews Clark was one of the richest, most respected men in Los Angeles, but he had a secret: his lover, Harrison Post. The son of a man known as "The Copper King of Montana," Clark moved to Los Angeles and after buying amansion on Adams Blouevard, he set about establishing himself in the city's cultural landscape: he co-founded the Los Angeles Philharmonic, established a wing of the library at UCLA, and helped build the Hollywood bowl. William Clark and Harrison Post's relationship had ended before Clark's death, but much to the chagrin of his family, Clark left Post a fortune of his own. And this is where Harrison's toroubles began. In a story that takes readers from the glamor of Hollywood in the 1920s to a Nazi prison camp and back, Twilight Man tells the story of an illicit love and the battle over a family fortune that would destroy one man's life. Harrison Post's was forgotten for decades, but after a chance encounter with his portrait, Liz Brown, herself a descendant of William Clark's family, set out to learn his story. Twilight Man is more than just a biography, it is an exploration of how families shape their own legacies, and the lengths they will go to in order to do so.
