Great and Beautiful actress-star she was, her real name was Anita Evelyn Pomares born August 4, 1910 in Flushing, New York, USA maybe not many know that she was of Latin American ancestry more exactly of Salvadorean background as her granfather was a consul from El Salvador in USA, you can check at wikipedia for her biography
Oh wow, she's so amazing. This video just made me wish I were her and living in that era like a star! I'm in a 1910s phase, but I think the roaring 20s (such a stark contrast - particularly with womens freedoms) is making me move on!
She was a real hot tamale! She seemed to play more introverted personalities when the sound came in. What am I saying, they all played more introverted personalities when sound came in. She was a pleasant contrast to the depression with her innocent beauty and it was always getting compromised somehow. She committed suicide, or a building was falling on her. The perfect gal to shed a tear for when it all went bad.
I was and probably still am mad at the Academy Awards . . . in the memoriam they didn't even recognize her!
The last surviving "famous" film star of the silent era! Doesn't that mean anything anymore, honestly? I'm sure less than 10% of Hollywood stars could compete with her talent of acting if they were to use the same medium.
I couldn't agree more with your sentiments - absolutely unforgivable! Even George Clooney paid tribute to her when she died. She was the last person living to go to the 1st Academy Awards and was in a Best Picture film also. Disgraceful!!!!!!!!!!
Anita Page dropped out of the Hollywood scene since she did not do the casting couch. Ironically she lived a much happier and longer life than her contemporaries Garbo, Crawford and later Harlow, Greer Garson, etc. so she had something...
The only thing is dear readers what films did she do that I've heard of. She's a lovely girl no doubt about that but who is she, no offence. I know quite a bit of the background music Aaron 1912 has put on though.
See who's loaded this up moonlightorchid99. My old mate Aaron 1912 that's who. Who loaded up that video of Fascinating Rhythm by the Savoy Orpheans I sent you. Why our old mate Aaron 1912. Now you simply have to watch it lol.
Aaron-I was very touched to learn that you hired an airplane to fly a Happy Birthday banner over Anita Page's house some time back. What a kind and grand gesture to a star of a wonderful departed era. I thought to myself: This is a mensch.
Another new discovery for me. I've never heard of Anita Page before but she's brilliant. Besides Doug Jr who's the leading man? She's fantastic! I'm doing a new search and I thought there was ONLY Clara Bow or Theda
I loooove the music and clips in this!!! All of your videos are so awesome and introduce me to so much from the '20s-thank you so much :) I love Anita's look!
