Great image of Betty Blythe, who can't come to the phone, because she's a little tied up, right now :) This is from the 1923 adventure film Chu-Chin-Chow in which she played the lead female character Zahrat, a role later played in a talkie version by another one of our favorites, Anna May Wong.
Betty Blythe was born Elizabeth Slaughter Blythe (1893-1972). This Betty was never as naughty as Betty Page, but she did have a bit of a reputation. She once said, ""A director is the only man besides your husband who can tell you how much of your clothes to take off." (Thanks Wikipedia :), and back in the 20s, she was known as one of the most scantily clad stars in Hollywood, taking on daring, sexy roles like the Queen of Sheba, Ayesha in She, and of course, Zahrat. She had a long career, beginning in 1918, and working into the 1960s.
