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 divas 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 can melt a heart, or break it in two. Have fun!
Postcard image from Cecil B. Demille's 1920 comedy "Why Change Your Wife?" with Gloria Swanson, Thomas Meighan and Bebe Daniels. Gotta love the little heart tattoo :)
Bebe Daniels isn't exactly a household name today, which is a bit surprising actually! In her long career, she made over 200 films, her first film role at age 7, in 1908. She also wrote and produced. She made a successful transition from the silents to the talkies, and later had a very successful career in radio, and even television. She was gorgeous, talented, and smart. She starred as Miss Wonderly in the 1931 pre-code version of The Maltese Falcon, and did great work in the Busby Berkeley musical 42nd Street.
A nice card, circa 1920, with visible wear.
