Colleen
Moore links
Colleen
Moore galleries at Silent Ladies and Gents
Wonderful picture galleries of Colleen and many, many other silent
film stars besides. There's also a QuickTime movies section which includes
a clip of Colleen doing the Charleston in We Moderns. Silent Ladies
and Gents is part of Silent-movies.com - see "General Silent Film links"
for a direct link. I'd highly recommend looking round the entire site. You'll
never get tired of it!
Colleen's
pages at The Silents Majority
The Silents Majority appears to be haivng some technical difficulties.
I'm leaving the link in place in the hope that it will work again soon.
Colleen's
Scrapbooks
Colleen loved being a film star, and saw the importance of preserving
material from the silent era earlier than many other people in the industry.
Her scrapbooks from her glory days still survive at the Margaret Herrick
library.
Other
flapper actress links
The
Louise Brooks Society
Possibly the most comprehensive site you'll find devoted to a single
silent star. Dedication and information combined.
The
Clara Bow Page
An understatement. There are lots of pages here, all
devoted to the lovely Clara. It also contains important information on
the restoration of Clara's films. William M Drew, who knew Colleen, wrote
an article on the Painted People affair for the Clara Bow Page.
You can find it here.
The
Virginia Lee Corbin Scrapbook
Blonde and bubbly, meet Virginia!
Joan
Crawford: Her life and career
More than Mommie Dearest, she was hailed as "The Thinking Man's Clara
Bow"

General
Silent Film links
Silent-movies.com
Featuring Arbucklemania and a Taylorology mirror as well as justifiably
renowned galleries of silent stars at Silent Ladies and Gents. If you want
to know what a star looked like, make this your first stop.
The
Silents Majority
Again, this site is experiencing technical difficulties. Fingers
crossed that it comes back, because it really is superb.
Silent
Movies
Glen Pringle's Silent Movies site has what has to be the best collection
of Silent film links anywhere on the web. If you need to find something
Silent, this is the place you'll find the link.
Silent
Era
Features of special interest here include details of the latest
silent film releases on DVD and video (in the US, curses!) and a growing list
of lost films.
Silents
Are Golden
Among the great items here are a Featured Film (updated each month) which
includes contemporary reviews of a film. The site is also home to the
Virginia Lee Corbin Scrapbook.
Unsung
Divas of the Silent Screen
A wonderful site containing a lot of information on great dramatic actresses
from the silent era, all of whom are much less well known than they deserve
to be.
Saenger
Cinemas
Would you like to know what 1920s cinemas were really like? Check out
William Hooper's site, and see what his research into one theatre chain
has revealed!

It's
Not Just Michael Powell
There's more to British film than the Archers, and you'll find
plenty of information about it here. There's even a picture of Chili Bouchier,
first British sex symbol ("The British Girl With It") here.
Living
Retro
Very well done American Retro site.
Daddyos
Retro-styled clothing site. My husband bought me a lovely gingham halterneck
from here. (Unfortunately we hadn't reckoned with the cost of importing
it, but that's a gripe we have with British customs, not with Daddyos.)

Spike
Spike's editor, Chris Mitchell, was kind enough to help me
with getting this site started. Spike is a modern literary e-zine containing
sharp and intelligent features, news and reviews. You like Spike!
Future
Publishing
Publisher of specialist interest magazines, including Total
Film, PC Gamer and the British Official Playstation mags. I
work on Gamesmaster.
University
of Wales, Lampeter
My alma mater. It's not a place for people who need to be spoon-fed constant
mindless entertainment and are incapable of doing things on their own
initiative. People who are too dull to entertain themselves should go
somewhere else!
Paul's
Star Trek site
My friend Paul's Star Trek fan fiction site - follow the crew of
an all-new starship as they travel the universe.
