gagman66 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 To lovely portraits from 1925. Why does my girl look so Brokenhearted? In the other photo, Beautiful Butterfly like Bessie has such fabulous face and form that every gentleman in attendance will want her to be on their Dance card. That's for sure. Incidentally, Photoplay got a bunch of jeers from fans unhappy because Miss Love here was not selected among there Most beautiful list in subsequent issues. One saying that she was better looking than 90% of the ladies chosen as contestants. Another said she was a superior actress as well. *Bessie Love- "Bound For The Ball"-1925* *Renee Adoree- "Sad Blue Eyes"* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hey Jeff! I was finally able to get the crushes thread to load! I love the photos you did, and personally I like the Delores Costello one on newsprint... I understand it was difficult and you aren't happy with it, but to me it has an unearthly beauty that the newsprint seems to intensify. Also love the Corinne and the Esther ralston. I love the contest - but it all goes to show you that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Here are my picks from each list: 1st list: Mary Astor Marion Davies Betty Compson Eleanor Boardman Agnes Ayres (but not from that picture!) Dorothy Gish Constance Binney Mabel Ballin Ann Forrest Pauline Garon 2nd list: Corinne Griffith Jacqueline Logan Lillian Gish Mabel Normand Pola Negri Eva Novak Nita Naldi Martha Mansfield May McAvoy Hope Hampton (just because she looks really good in this photo) 3rd list: Marie Prevost Mary Pickford Alice Terry Jobyna Ralston Gloria Swanson Blanche Sweet Mary Philbin I think it's hard to tell what some of these ladies were really like on film, so many are not really available to look at anymore except in still photos, and of course some women photograph better than others.

gagman66 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Wendy, Maybe you need to update Adobe? That should help. Here are two remarkable photos of Corinne I never saw before. Both are from 1923. Don't really have titles for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugaarte Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Hi Gagman . . . Here I am ! . . . I've been spending some 'Family Time' before my son leaves for Texas for a short while . . . I was able to 'squeeze' n this time on my computer. I'm Not surprised to see the Top 8 'Most Beautiful Actress' Poll. But I was Surprised Not to find Lillian Gish as one the the 'Most Beautiful' . . . Just my Opinion. And that's a Lovely Picture of Colleen Moore . . and Yes ! she does look very Serious . . . More of a 'Determined' Look ! And Barbara La Marr appears 'Regal' in her Feathered & Beaded Headpiece. Great COLORING on the Mary Miles Minter Pose . . . Those are Great, Contrasting Colors used . . . Burgandy, Forest Green and Blues . . . And Renee Adoree looks so Beautiful with her Blue Eyes & Dark hair in both Portraits of her that you've posted. And those Photos of Corinne are just AWESOME . . . In her 1st Photo, she appears very 'Prim and Serene', in her Beautiful, White LACE Dress . . . with a Rich Blue Background. And there's something 'TRAJIC & BEAUTIFUL' running hand in hand in her 2nd portrait . . .I Love her Rich, Dark & 'WILD' Hair . . . and that Deep Green background. And such a different 'light' to see Billie Dove in, dressed in 'revealing' tattered clothes, with a bandana around her head & holding an apple . . . and appearing as though she's communicating with the gods . . . Great Portraits, Gagman. Thanks much ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugaarte Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hi Gagman . . . You have Great Posts here, Gagman . . . I've enjoyed everyone of them ! I just Love Betty Compson in that Rich, Burgandy Gown in, 'To Have and To Hold' (1924). And those Lattice Windows are just Beautiful ! And Claire Windsor appears 'Whimsical' . . . Reminds me almost of a Joker in a Deck of Cards. And the Photos of Colleen Moore and Clara Bow are so Endearing and Enriching in their own Special Whimsical Ways. They sure knew HOW to 'Frolic' for the Camera Lens. I Especially Love that Portrait of Clara Bow and the 'Door Man' in his RED Uniform. Is that the MOON by his Cap ? . . . AWESOME ! Great Photos and Coloring Gagman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
