Joan Lowell

Helen Joan Lowell (November 23, 1902-November 7, 1967) was a movie actress of the silent film era from Berkeley, California. Lowell published a sensational autobiography, ''Cradle of the Deep'', in 1929, which turned out to be a pure fabrication.
==Childhood story==

In 1929, Joan Lowell published an autobiography, ''Cradle of the Deep'', published by Simon & Schuster, in which she claimed that her sea captain father took her aboard his ship, the ''Minnie A. Caine'', at the age of three months when she was suffering from malnutrition. He nursed her back to health. She lived on the ship, with its all-male crew, until she was 17. She became skilled in the art of seamanship and once harpooned a whale by herself. Ultimately, the ship burned and sank off Australia, and Lowell swam three miles to safety, with a family of kittens clinging by their claws to her back. In fact, the book was a fabrication; Lowell had been on the ship, which remained safe in California, for only 15 months. The book was a sensational best seller until it was exposed as pure invention. The book was later parodied by Corey Ford in his book ''Salt Water Taffy'' in which Lowell abandons the sinking ship (which had previously sunk several times before "very badly") and swims to safety with her manuscript.
