Welcome to "Idols of the 1920s," where we hope to provide a special, cozy place for those of you who long to linger among the stars of the early silver screen, the hoofers and songbirds of dear old vaudeville's fading hours, a few diva's of the grand opera, and of the operetta too, flappers, flappers, more flappers, and of course, and perhaps especially, those femmes fatales who with one smoldering glance could melt a heart, or break it in two. Have fun!
Maria Corda, born Maria Farkas in 1898, Deva Hungary, began her career in the theater in Budapest. In 1919 she began appearing in film roles. She married Alexander Korda the famed director, and starred in many films of his, also films of Michael Curtiz, in Hungary, Austria and Germany. Later she moved with Korda to Hollywood where her career fizzled, most probably due to a lack of English when the talkies came into full bloom. In 1930, she and her husband divorced. She moved from Hollywood to New York where she made a second career for herself as a novelist!
