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 would melt a heart, or break it in two. Have fun!
Stacia Napierkowska (1886-1945), born Renée Claire Angèle Élisabeth Napierkowski in Paris, France, was of Polish extraction. We apologize for having mistakenly identified her as a Russian actress in a previous listing. Her first film role was in 1908, and between that year and 1926, she appeared in no fewer than 86 films. Like many French actresses of the time, she got her start on stage, in this case as a dancer at the Folies Bergeres. One of our favorites is the 1915 serial Les Vampires, by Louis Feuillade. This was still accessible online as of a few months ago. A bit slow by today's standards, of course, but great atmospheric fun. In this wonderful silver gelatine image, Mlle. Napierkowska wears a gorgeous embroidered dress.
