I read Runnin Wild by David Sten over 20 years ago, and once saw him at a 1920s film event and asked him about the idea of a film of her life, he was interested in this but I have heard nothing about him getting this off the ground.
It is time a good film was made about real Hollywood lives and the true stars' origins in the 20s. Her life would be perfect for this- if the right actress could be found.

my favorite actress of all time.. bar none... she was treated like crap at Paramount but still managed to be a #1 box office star from 1926-1930. They should have given her better roles like Barbara Stanwyck roles but she was so burned out.. She just said screw you Hollywood and never came back. I wish she would have lived longer(died in 1965) to have written her autobiography or least been interviewed. She was so unique.

Thankfully i now understand why she wasnt in Hollywood on Parade 8A/8A thanks for uploading this. So paramount canceled her contract due to her life problems. now i know why they were using a waxwork figure of her. although her husband Rex Bell was allowed in the paramount short.

Now you know where Liza Minnelli got her "look" for the part of Sally Bowles in movie Cabaret.

@windyfields I think the life expectancy of people in the early 1900's was 44....
Clara and Louise were great!
they were REAL in a fake industry.
