mabel normand was a great comedienne and the first really popular and famous one too.i saw her together with fatty arbuckle in some of their early keystone shorts.they were both hilarious.the third pic you posted isn´t mabel normand though.i´m pretty sure that it´s olive thomas.
here there can be found some information on mabel´s short and tragic life and an article written by her : http://www.flapperjane.com/May%202004/mabel_normand.htm
i love evelyn brent´s extravagant and sophisticated style too.i had´t seen any pictures of her with long hair before though-beautiful..

lily damita (who was most famous for her tempestuous marriage to errol flynn)
