1920s Actresses (February 2004 - November 2010)

[Whitelinen]

I just read a lot of trivia about Hollywood's "sinful" side of the 20's...It's exciting.

Over all, these actressesare so much more interesting than the ones we have today.

Im so inlove with this thread! All these women are so gorgous and elegant! they all look like real women, with curves! and all of them has gorgoues hair! how did they get their hair curly in those days?

a bit offtopic maybe but Im so happy (and very lucky!) because last summer my grannie found two of her mothers dresses that are from the 20's, both of them in great condition and she gave them to me!

Can I assume that it's okay to post pictures of 1920's actors? Some photos of Ramon Novarro...the one where he's wearing the laurel leaf crown was shot by Hurrell. And according to wikipedia, Novarro was the first movie star that Hurrell shot! ( I learned something today!)

Cheiby - Emma was actually thinking of Renee Perle; she posted in that thread that was who she was looking for.

Fantastic pictures though! Love the bangles!
