Theda Bara Part II
Movies to see:
A Fool There Was (1915)
The Unchastened Woman (1925)
Madame Mystery (1926)
These are the Theda Bara movies that can be found on video. I've seen these titles available on online auctions, through the library, and from Grapevine Video
Books to read:
*Vamp: The Rise and Fall of Theda Bara, by Eve Golden
Theda Bara: A Biography of the Silent Screen Vamp, With a Filmography, by Ronald Genini
Both of these biographies are worth reading, but I prefer the Golden book; it's more detailed and the research is stronger. While Genini's book is an interesting and mostly factual read, he seems to have fallen for a lot of the bogus press about Theda, while Golden dug deeper to find something a little closer to the truth.
Thank you to Silent Ladies & Gents for permission to use the great pictures of Theda.
