I stole this photo from Parker because I loved it so much.
Theda Barra is on my to do list. I know little of her except for an article I read in a Sunday paper a year or so back in which the journalist wondered why she was considered such a beauty. Duh!
Mind you, Parker has also been considering a Danish silent actress called Asta Nielsen. Now she was a bit of a trout...although in this photo she does have something.
This picture of Lombard and Gable is a bonus, only thrown in because it has Walter Winchell who has been an object of interest for me for some time now. One can't help feeling Carole is hoping it stops soon.

Theda Bara wow but very conservative when she retired and married a wealthy banker and retired! What a fantastic site! I love early Hollywood who couldnt love MARY PICKFORD???!! I have read tons of books and my wife just cant see the attraction! What beauties back then constance Bennett, marlena,i could go on and on!
Thanks, Pickfair (great name btw). I shall have to do a Mary Pickford post just for you. She was one smart cookie. I wish I'd done more reading. only just getting started with a Katharine Hepburn bio, but there's not enough time in the day!
Thanks for that that would be great!! I have read lots of info about Pickfair and wish there were more photos avalible to see,when Mary died Buddy her husband had the whole place photographed by the film accademy i cant find any images tho!Enjoy your book Kate was fascinating.Best bio i have read are Chaplins auto bio, Mary Astors FAB best Swanson on Swanson!
Oh! Thanks for the tips. I shall jot them down on my list
Hi! Theda was thought to be a sinner back then,her name spelt backwards is ARAB DEATH!!Spooky!! Only fragments of her films survive they were not preserved and some were in a fire tragic!! If you ever get time try reading about Pola Negri and Allah Nazimova,Negri lived to an old age.Still alive is 2 time oscar winner Luise Rainer who is 99!!
