Postcards produced by Cinemagazine of Paris are some of the loveliest we see. They maintain beautiful condition through the decades (this one being nearly 90 years old) having been printed on what is obviously a very high quality, and somewhat heavier than typical card stock, and their photographic prints are often so rich and lush. We do love them.
Gorgeous Barbara La Marr ( born Reatha Dale Watson in 1896), was one of the unluckiest stars of the silver screen. Though quite successful as an actress, Miss La Marr suffered through several unhappy marriages and battled severe drug and alcohol addiction, contributing to her death in 1926, at the age of 29. She lived that fast Hollywood life, practically before the idea of a "fast Hollywood life" had a place in the public consciousness, once bragging that she slept only two hours a night. Tragically, her lifestyle and career burned her out early. Wikipedia offers a short but detailed bio article, link below.

This is not an uncommon image of this actress, but a really wonderful one in almost pristine condition.
