Pola Negri may have been crazy, but she also had a pet tiger that she took for walks down Sunset Boulevard. It's been rumored that she turned down the role as Norma Desmond because she didn't want to parody herself. Who doesn't want to be as crazy as Norma Desmond?
No one, right, Max?
Also, expect some of The Untitled later as I'll be screencapping the hell out of it today because I really need to send it back as I have Metropolis and A Fool there was in my queue. Sci-fi and Theda Bara! Woo~

All right, I am not actually the greatest star of them all. I really just a student on a quest the learn everything about the world in the 1900s - 1920s. And by everything I mean film, film, film, fashion and The Follies.
Love The Follies. Mostly Fanny Brice.
I promise I'm not a pretentious film student. I'm just a pretentious art history student.
There will be a lot of film still, photos and music involved. I'm the audio/visual sort that communicates best with an artsy shot and a jazzy song about love. Jazz Age Emo ...?
Anyway, while I'm at it, have some Fanny Brice. Everyone loves Fanny Brice.
