Theda Bara the 1920's Original Vamp

Theda Bara was an American silent film actress, one of the most popular of her era and one of cinemas earliest sex symbols. Nicknamed "The Vamp" because she played so many femme fatale roles, which became a popular slang term for a sexually predatory woman.
Theda completed more than 40 films, but complete prints of only 6 still exist.
Married in 1921 to British-born American film director, Charles Brabin. It is claimed that her husband didn't consider it proper for his wife to have a career, and so Theda didn't make any more appearances after her marriage. Theda has a star on the Hollywood walk of fame.

Vintage Movies Make me SMILE!

The glamor! The Fashion! The lingo! The penciled eyebrows! There is something about a black and white flick that is inspiring to my sense of fashion. I watch and imagine how long it must have taken those women to get ready, and these were Hollywood looks that every day women emulated. I can barely wash my hair every other day! Its exhausting with work and everything else that one needs to keep up with in our 21st century life. Well, here is a ode to the women and men who knew how to shine, even without technicolor!
