Yakima didn't disappear. He was in a ton of John Wayne early westerns. I have a collection DVD of The Duke and Yakima is present even in the serial The Eagle (12 chapters)
Marion Davies made the transition to talkies well enough, despite her stutter, but her lover and mentor W.R. Hearst insisted on overriding the various productions and creating nuisance. While Marion worked regularly until the late-1930s, filmmakers were loathe to take Marion on because it meant dealing with Hearst. So roles planned for her (Marie Antoinette, Tovarich) went to other actresses. In the end, Marion's celebrity just burned out.
Marion Davies was glittering as a modern, funny, young woman, Hearst liked putting her in big overblown productions and dressing her as boys, which she made funny and made work but the big period pictures seem to bore even her. She would have been a natural for the comedies of the 30's, but Hearst felt Comedy was undignified!
@@johnvonundzu2170 of course, even though artificial voices have been around since the sixties, the art form is pretty much still in its infancy. It’s more the uncorrected mispronunciations and showing the wrong images that spoil these for me. And the repetition? Don’t even get me started
Some of these actors just aged out of their normal roles. The women were no longer young romantic types. They had been in front of the camera for years and made a lot of money so they just decided to retire. More actors were being lured from Broadway where they had voices and were already trained for speaking dialogue. In with the new; out with the old.
This is, of course, misleading, and continues to perpetuate a myth that it was bad or in some cases squeeky voices the killed some silent stars' careers. An actor's popularity is prone to the fickle tastes of audiences and can crash at any time. But, just because an actor's roles decreased at the time of the onset of talkies doesn't mean it was talkies (more specifically, the need for an actor to speak lines) that killed his career.
I watched six of those listed, then gave up when it is clearing that only ONE of those actually suffered BECAUSE of the switch to talkies, rather than simply being stars whose floruits faded at roughly the same time. Do better, Hollywood Secrets.

Yakima/Wayne were 👍 in plenty of my DVD collection😉

I wish I could get Freaks & Black Memory movie's🙂
They used to have extremely beautiful actors back then why now exactly the opposite
Some pretty girls in this video!
Oh god. Not another AI voice and the wrong people pictured. Geez. Ever hear of getting a narrator and doing some actual research?
This has got to be one of the worst AI voices.

Mixed metaphor, smh. Stars do not wane. The moon wanes. Stars dim.
