This video is so lovely! Good job!

Kurt Barlow the character played by actor Reggie Nadler.

Don't apologize for the lengths of your videos.

The first time I saw Nosferatu was in 2007 and it's been my favorite silent film ever since. I recently watched "Shadow of the Vampire" and thought it was a good movie they made Count Orlok human like by making him drink liquor from the bottle 😂. Thanks to the internet Florence lost the war. Great video, very insightful 👍👍

This NEEDS some old times music during your commentary.

omg i'm sad you never mentioned Nosferatu the Vampyre, it was a remake made in the 70's that's honestly really good and stays true to the original. i have a feeling the new nosferatu movie coming out this year is gonna be based on it

the black swordsman

Love this film.

I remember watching this in the fourth grade when it would rain and we were stuck indoors. Im 52 now so it was quite a while ago. We watched the movie on a projector and once it ended Mr. Van that was my teachers name would run it backwards. 😂 Thanks for sharing. 👍

I didn't know people still remembered her❤ So happy to find this❤

I First Heard Of NAZIMOVA When I Got The Book, The Sewing Circle.

"And why you've never heard of her" - I'd read about her back in the '70s. I believe she was also featured in the "Hollywood" tv series, around 1979. Of course, a lot of viewers don't be in my age group.

Only thought Leslie Caron played Pola Negri in the atrocious bio of Valentino . It was Pola who had ordered a ( blanket like massive ) train of a roses to cover Valentino’s bier . Although her hair was done like Nazimovas in Salome . Well . So glad u put this together . Thank u . April 2024 . From Alberta here .

Am so glad to come across your vid on Alla . Have known about her since my teens , mid 1970s and all the years hoped to find one at least of her films on vhs . Mercedes d’Acosta would go on to another troubled relationship with the most famous face of all time , Garbo . Stalking her by all accounts various bios over the years Alla been mentioned in. Another huge note is she ,Alla mentored Natasha Rambova as her new young designer who later married Valentino . On RUclips ( and so glad this is here ) one can find some film clips of Alla in Salome and I believe a shirt clip of actually film work in Camille . Barbara Stanwyck too was part the sewing circle being mentored by Alla and she too a long time Lavender marriage ( do believe a son from that marriage ) with gay Robert Taylor . And think that Loretta Young one her first film appearances in one of Alla ‘s films . Yes she is all too long overlooked !

Even film stars with a decent home life invent a dramatic upbringing....."drama" is their bread and butter.

I’ve watched the film SEVERAL times and the most terrifying part to me is that the N@z¡s were inspired by the film’s depiction of vampires and used similar imagery in their anti-Semitic propaganda. Still an amazing film but it’s a shame to know the history of antisemitism that impacted its legacy.

Anyone who knows about Oscar Wilde knows he was not interested in a woman. He was very famously gay.

The music video for Queen's "Under Pressure" has clips from "Nosferatu" in it. Apart from a few still photos in the books about vampires and monsters that I loved as a kid (1970s), that's the first time I saw any of the film. I remember scouring the late night TV listing, praying someone would be playing "Nosferatu" -- no one did. Finally, in my early teenage years (mid-80s) we got a VCR and in one of the catalogs Barnes & Noble would send us, I found a reasonably-priced copy of "Nosferatu" and my mother rolled her eyes and ordered it. 😂

I always wanted to learn more about the background and legal woes the film got. Good job! Might I recommend Dark Corners Reviews video on Nosferatu and other F W Murnau movies that may have helped to inspire it.

Faaaaabulous, darling!

I like Nazimova.

I think you meant, overcame some serious adversity instead of "diversity

Hi there. It's no mean feat to condense a big life into 30 minutes and I think you did a sterling job. And thanks for my surprise cameo near the end! Just one thing: Alla's last name is pronounced "na-ZIM-ova" with the emphasis on the second syllable.

I agree to this about modern terms being used on people from the past!

The only "mistake" I could see was how you mis-pronounced Marlene Deitrich's last name; it's like "dee-trick". Otherwise, great job! 😊😊

Very nice and informative! As an older gay man, however, I feel like the word "queer" is a bit overused today.

Alla N. might have been gay, but he also was a man. Just saying.

She was so ahead of her time.

You are great at your passion. Topic was right on time. Thanks 🌈

Whatever I've seen her in, I was waiting for more...

No rough edges at all! A skilful and engaging telling of a fascinating story.

Thank you for producing the Nazimova video. It's great to see a younger generation taking an interest in our queer forebears. I hope you continue to dig into our history and share more of what you find. I recently did a deep dive into the Golden Age history rabbit hole, focusing on Greta Gabo and her particular place in the Sewing Circle constellation. From the various biographies of Garbo, I jumped to read bigraphies of some of her lovers, particularly Mercedes de Acosta. De Acosta was connected to many women in Hollywood, New York and Europe. I think you would enjoy reading about her adventures with an amazing number of well-known artists, writers, actors and the high-society and nobled types who in many cases supported the creative community. Start with "The Sewing Circle" by Axel Madson. His book is a kind of tell-all gossip tome. Much of his story has been challenged, but the basic narrative reveals a lot about the people who made up the queer creative community at this time. (Google the reviews of his book by NY TImes and other mainstream publications to round out the picture.) The other book I would recommend is Mercedes de Acosta's autobiography, "Here Lies the Heart." de Acosta was a professional writer, so the book is a smooth read. Unfortunately, de Acosta lists many of her lovers, but is unfortunately not able to recount the intimate nature of these relationships. She wrote this book at a time in her life when she was very ill and needed the money for surgery, so I expect it was important to her to protect the ability of the publication against any lawsuits from the celebrities named in her story. You will learn that friends and lovers turned away from anyone who dared mention their queer relations, particularly after the end of WWII when the country shifted to a more conservative attitude and the censors and the investigations of the House Un-American Activities Committee were in full swing, terrorizing in particular the Hollywood creative community. Well - I'll stop there! As you can tell - I am also a history buff and would be happy to discuss details with you. One of the things I would recommend to you is that you take care to use the proper pronunciations of some of the names and terms that pertain to classic Hollywood and to Queer History in general: Marlene Dietrich - ruclips.net/video/x6VHazuy3h0/видео.htmlsi=z2hQIne1MijRHYlL (another MAJOR Hollywood Star AND very Queer) Greenwich Village - ruclips.net/video/gJeN-H4idxE/видео.htmlsi=0bLxpQAgJyJhB4Wa Thanks again and best of luck with your important work!

I rarely bother to like and subscribe, because I like the algorithm and to surprise me. But I did both after watching this video. Nice work.

Very well presented

You're pronouncing her last name wrong. Nazimova is pronounced nuh-zyee-muh-vuh

I remember buying an 8mm version of Salome back in 1975, three, two hundred feet reels. I was a classic film fan. Val Lewton I think was her nephew.

I'd not heard of this fascinating person. You did a great job ... and it's your first video at that. Well done and thank you.

Splendid video

Splendid video

Gracias!!!!

What a fascinating life Nazimova had. Thanks for your interest in this important artist. Just a little point here, Marlene Dietrich is pronounced Mar-le-ne Dee-trik. You would probably enjoy learning about the German icon and possibly make a video of her would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for posting your video. Nice work!

Great choice of photographs, I've been looking at all the same ones over + over. Very refreshing to see some new ones! And you have a well modulated voice, and the pictures are well explained. Good luck with your channel!

Very nice well paced telling of a way complex life. Turning 40 was always a disasterous thing for a leading lady to do in Hollywood and Nazimova made it almost to 50 before the doors closed to her. She was doomed to be forgotten, yet she wasn't, even in her lifetime, she was unique - not just another film star. After the big money evaporated poor woman had to deal with Nancy Reagan (what a low point!). Greenwich is always pronounced Grennich, not as spelled & Pauline Kael's nane is pronounced like kale the vegetable. Many thanks for your work!

❤❤❤

Loved it. Thanks.

BRAVO!! WELL DONE!! NEVER KNEW OF HER... THANK YOU SO MUCH VERY INTELLIGENT FOR DÉBUT VIDEO. ❤

Those images of her in those Klimt-inspired robes are just stunning. Thank you for a lovely video about one of the silent era’s great faces (to quote the immortal Norma Desmond!)!

I can see Tilda Swinton playing her in a biopic

Thanks so much for this. She was such a fascinating person and I hope that she will never be forgotten!

That was really great! Just make sure to check pronunciation. Good job on your research, I did a paper on her for my gender studies class.
