Very good video by the way. The Terry Theme from Chaplin's LIMELIGHT. Which he composed. Became a big pop standard as ETERNALLY. I believe sung by Jerry Vale in the 50's. And frequently revived over the years.

Swanson was big, but never the biggest. By 1920 Norma Talmadge had eclipsed Mary Pickford as the top female Star in the world. A position she maintained for several years. And Norma was still a Top 5 Star up to 1929. Constance Talmadge wasn't far behind her Sister in fan polls up to 1927. For a period of about 5 years between 1923 to 1928. Nobody was any bigger than Colleen Moore. In 1926 and 27 She was the number 1 rated box-office draw in all of Hollywood.

@77flapper You are totally right about elegance and femininity. All of the female celebrities today behave like uncouth men in drag. Times were different. Listen to Groucho Marx talk about it with Dick Cavett. The men talked dirty with the men, and the women talked dirty with themselves. They had standards when they were with mixed company, and they didn't cross the lines. Nowadays, there aren't any standards. People today behave like beasts, not civilized human beings.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN wrote this music for his 'LIMELIGHT' Score ... Yes?

I really believe she was the greatest actress in the history of film. Unfortunately some of her work hasn't survived.

Im a silent movie freak and Gloria is either number 1 or 2 on the list of the greatest female silent stars. The other woman that challenged her was Mary Pickford. I think Gloria was the best. Her performance in "Sunset Boulevard" was one of the best performance any actress ever did.
