Coleen Mooore Forgotten Beauty Of The Silver Screen
Coleen Moore 1898-1988.
An Angel Born In Michigan
Her personality and good looks
Took her to fortune and fame
On stage and the silent silver screen
A longed for dream that made her name
So long forgotten
So long dead
A beautiful fragrant blossoming Rose
A heartthrob that must have driven men mad
With passion and lust
Potential suitors who would have proposed
If they could
She was so popular
And became a huge movie star
At the time nothing Could stop her
Becoming a household the highest-paid movie star of her time
A fashion icon who popularised the short cute and chic Bob hairstyle
That was adopted by Louise Brookes
Another one with captivating looks and Rosebud's lips
Famed for her film Pandora's Box
Coleen's roles were mostly silent comedy
But in 1929 she made her first talkie
Admired chased and kissed
Her cute facial animated expressions
Were both fascinating and captivating
Half of her movies it's said no longer exists
An astute business Lady
Who amassed a fortune on the stock exchange
She wrote a book about
Her passion was Dolls and Dolls houses
She had on public display
In Chicago, it was arranged
With amenities such as electricity and a working elevator
All on a large scale
How can such a beauty with porcelain smooth skin
And such beautiful eyes
Slowly age and fade and wither like a rose
If only...
Her most celebrated movie was 'Flaming Youth'.
I once had a girlfriend who looked exactly like Coleen
But was no Angel.
I also had a girlfriend who looked like Debbie Harry,
But looked more like Debbie Harry, than Debbie did.
