1930s Actresses

Camilla Horn...German actress, probably best known for her role of Gretchen/Marguerite in the 1926 film Faust.

And thanks for the photos, ruslana rules! I love the extra little info too. :blush:

Genia Nikolajewa...Russian born actress, did many German movies in the thirties, but then, to quote imdb, "She imigrated to the United States in 1938. She became one of the most beautiful studio secretaries for Warner Bros." One cute trivia fact, she was married to her husband from 1937 to his death in 1997 (quite the opposite of Camilla Horn, who, according to imdb, was married five times and was a mistress for a sixth man).

Mae West:

She had such an equisite mouth. Possibly the most glamorous actress ever.
 
Alice White

Warner Brothers' answer to Clara Bow. With the advent of talking pictures, White began to attract a level of popularity she had not achieved in silent movies. However, her career was severely damaged by a scandal that erupted over her sexual involvement with two different men. Although she later married one of these men, her reputation was tarnished and she appeared only in supporting roles after this.

Phyllis Barry -
A beautiful brunette from England, Phyllis Barry grabbed the choice role of 1932, that of the melancholy shop girl turned mistress in Cynara, the much awaited screen version of E.M. Harwood and Robert Gore-Browne's 1928 play. Based on poet Ernest Dawson's immortal line, "I have been faithful to thee, Cynara, in my fashion," the triangle drama was too downbeat for popular appeal and rather than enjoying instant stardom, Barry was relegated to playing a foil for comics Wheeler and Woolsey in Diplomaniacs and Buster Keaton in What, No Beer? (both 1933). Despite these setbacks, she hung around until the late '40s, playing ever-smaller roles. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
