Barbara Kent, who has passed away at the age of 103, was probably the last living star of a major American silent film.
Though she played bigger and higher profile roles, such as her part alongside Harold Lloyd in 'Welcome Danger' (1928) and her star turn in the Coney Island comedy-drama 'Lonesome' (1928), perhaps her best known role is as the wonderfully feisty younger sister of Lars Hanson in 'Flesh and the Devil' (1926). Painfully in love with John Gilbert's character, she is completely oblivious to his own infatuation with Felicitas (Greta Garbo).
Barbara more than holds her own against stars of this magnitude.

I saw her first time in a movie with Harold Lloyd. All the time i was so happy that she's still alive. An now, four months later i must see that's she is dead in california. She has never given interviews since many years - did someone know, why she did not?

With her death, she leaves very few actors and actresses alive from silent era. RIP

@staclynn72 I heard she was farming in Idaho and wanted nothing to do with her past as an actress, I loved her in "Flesh and the devil" and "Welcome Danger". Sorry to hear we finally lost her.
