Let There Be Limericks: Some Sirens of the Silent Silver Screen

Starring Miss Clara Bow Here's a tidbit you may not know About the silent screen siren Miss Clara Bow: All her films were a hit, What she had was called "It", And the '20s were lit with Miss Bow in the show. Then There Was Theda The vamp Theda Bara was quite a gal On the screen in her roles as a "femme fatale". She wore costumes revealing That were often scene-stealing But were still quite appealing to male co-stars, et al. Naughty Nita Naldi Silent screen star Nita Naldi was an Irish dolly Who began her career in the Ziegfeld Follies. She was pursued in films by paramours, Such as R. Valentino and J. Barrymore, And finally "talked" on TV in the '50s, by golly.

Louise Brooks was a stunner. F'd up childhood ruined her chances in the marriage stakes...although, she was considered a sex symbol in her era. Many scandalous affairs both women and men. I think she got terribly religious in her later years, probably due to her nun like existence ... and hair-vest pennance to stay clear of the sh*g. L

I think I've heard of her, L. She sounds like quite a gal.

Thanks, Ilene. I've never seen any of her flics, either, but she was a big deal in her day.
