Kid Dabb Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 You asked for it Another WAMPAS Baby Star, her 1990 autobiography borrows the title of her most famous film and role - the leader of a high school athiest society which forces members to renounce The Bible while placing a hand on the head of a live monkey.

dpompper Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Wow, I am way out of my league with you folks. I've never heard of most of these ladies. THAT's inspiration for me to discover more about silent and other early films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The secret is searching on Google Images with the right search term. Photo search term for the last photo: silent actress black tutu That will turn up the photo but not the name. Follow the photo link to the source and that will have several photos of Dolores Costello on it. Then go back to Google and search for: Dolores Costello black tutu.

twinkeee Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The eyebrows tell me maybe Clara Bow ....however, the expression on her face makes it hard to determine...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The lady in this photo doesn't look anything like what we know of the later actress she became, and who eventually became known in the 1940s as a wise-cracking lady, and on into the 50s too. She was unique in that regard and with her particular voice and style and so she was used in many movies only to make wise-cracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpompper Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Well, she has a lovely figure. Perhaps she was Hef's inspiration way back when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dabb Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'm guessing.. Rosalind Russell ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkeee Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Not Eve Arden? Certainly doesn't look like her but was known for her wise cracks and had a distinct voice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredCDobbs Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 If you look up Eve Arden on Google Images, this photo will turn up and a couple of websites say it is her. So, you win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dabb Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'm not disputing this. I'm just stating my amazement. Wow! All I can see Is Ms. Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
