Synopsis
It’s hard to determine where fact or fiction begins with Aimee Semple McPherson, one of the most famous and influential female evangelists in the world. Using her theatrical talent she acted out her sermons making the gospel more accessible to the public. Church became entertainment and Aimee became a celebrity. Just like today’s Hollywood celebrities Aimee was married three times, widowed once and divorced twice. The press captured her every move, publicizing her battles with her mother and daughter over the control of her church. There were even publicized rumors that she had plastic surgery. But what truly made her a public sensation was her mysterious disappearance after a day at the beach. Had Aimee been kidnapped as she claimed or had she just pulled off one of the most successful scams in history?
