I've loved Theda Bara since I was a teenager. I've read every biography, seen every movie, collected all the pictures, you name it. Thank you so much for this, I love hearing about her. Edit: most of her films were destroyed when Fox burnt down. The ones that do survive in their entirety are among the least popular. She never had children. I believe she died of stomach cancer.
Great Vlog!.. Love Her House!!.. I Love Jah So Much!!.. I Love The Way Jah Glances Back At You When Your Walking!!.. What Love He Has For You!!.. Thank You!!!!
Wow, for that long ago, those costumes she wore were really shocking. I've never seen any of her movies. I'm glad she found some happiness when she retired. Great vlog Jordan, thank you.
That's why it was so important for actors to establish themselves in multiple roles. A big breakout role or a character the actor fits so perfectly can be a detriment later. Bet we can name hundreds who were typecast.
Charles and Theda's house was on my route to school and, most afternoons, he would greet me and we would have a chat about school and my friends. He was "Uncle Charlie", a kind, tall Englishman, and we were great friends. He always asked me to come inside and "say hello to aunt Theda". Usually, she was in the bedroom, lying under the covers. She invariably said, "Give Aunt Theda a kiss", wich I dutifully did. We would talk for a few minutes and then Uncle Charlie and I would retreat to the kitchen for cookies and chocolate milk before I resumed my walk home. I never knew that she was the "seducer vamp." until much later. She was just a very sweet lady who obviously had affection for children. Looking back, it ws a lovely time of innocence, when my parents never worried and our front door was always open.
I just love Theda Bara, I swear I haven't seen eyes like hers besides Marc Bolan (who is my favorite musician of all time). She's just beautiful! I think it's just terrible that the studio restricted her personal life so much.
She truly was the First “ Manufactured “ Star . Really the beginning the Publicity Studio Departments . She was slightly before all the others , Gish sisters , Swanson , Colleen Moore , Pickford . They all were just beginning too !
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! I loved your natural narration delivery of Theda Bara’s life. Apparently there was much more to her than “The Vamp” character. This was an amazing vlog!
Very interesting vlog. One of the reasons I tune in is to learn something, and you never fall. Thank you for all that you do to make your vlogs amazing and intellectually stimulating. A big acknowledgments to those that can contribute so more vlogs, whether it be traveling abroad or local, can happen.
Hi Jordan, met you last night at Egyptian Theatre. Sorry I talked your ear off. Don’t miss, “Scotty: The Secret History of Hollywood”! I hope to see you again. Thanks for the sweet vlog on Theda.
The "Scotty" documentary is interesting. I wish he could get a handle on cleaning out the St. Andrews Place house, though. I recommend reading "Full Service," his book. It's even better.
Great to see a vlog about Theda Bara but thanks also for showing those Beverly Hills historical signs, I got the QR codes to work and watched the videos :)
This was so interesting! My great aunt lived in this time period and her name was Theodosia. I never heard of anyone else having that name We called my aunt, Dodie and she too was from Ohio (Sandusky). Thanks!
Thank you, Jordan, for this wonderful vlog! Those who are interested in Theda Bara can find more in Cari Beauchamp's wonderful biography of screenwriter Frances Marion, a good friend of Theda and her sister, Lori Bara: "Without Lying Down: Mary Pickford, Frances Marion, and the Powerful Women Of Early Hollywood." It is a Must Read for students of the era.
The intro was great! The Park was beautiful. I had never heard the story of Theda except for the first layer as a vamp, so interesting and informative. Jah, adorable as ever!
Great vlog!! I love when you do old Hollywood.....I love ALL your blogs actually.....but the old Hollywood vlogs are just so interesting and informative.....you bring back the past that some people have no idea of!!! Thanks Jordan!!
💋Thanks Again for a fab vlog! She was so pretty and unique looking. Always the best content! The Valentino statue is beautiful, glad u showed it again. My mom is from Cincinnati, I know I have mentioned that before. lol Blessings. Love and Light 💖Carli
Glad she found happiness after she retired from show biz! The studios owned their employees back then and as the saying goes "fame comes with a price" I really love the gothic look she had and she definitely would have been well loved amongst fashion trendsetters during the early punk rock years and those who embraced that fashion sense there after and now. I'm definitely gonna check our public library catalog and see if it lists any of her films! For some reason I always thought she was a stage actress in the theatre
Hey there Jordan and Jah ❣️ I just love when you focus on original Hollywood 🎥🎬these are my favorite VLOG'S . Jah has got to be the cutest pup out there🐕😄
Theda Bara's character is why later in movies naughty women were called Vamps. Laurel and Hardy used the phrase ,and so did, I Love Lucy, in one of her episodes
Great vlog today Jordan. That public washroom was a stop on one of our tours we took of Bevery Hills. Wish we had ventured into the park. It was nice to see Jah stand up looking at the ponds activity with the fish, ducks and turtles. Like I said before he's a scene stealer! Take care.
I love Theda so much! I have even did a makeup look inspired by her. I love how you always are on point with information about these places. I have learned a lot thanks to you!
ZIP ME UP BEFORE YOU GO GO!!! Dude, LOL this was the best Vlog evah! Totally love Theda, a true goddess of the silent era. As a bonus I am totally thrilled you took us on a tour of the George Michael Memorial Restroom! ROFLMAO So awesome!
Jordan you make these vlogs interesting by the way you tell the story, Thedra who new! I certainly didn't!, Hollywood so many stories, some seedy as in George Michaels case a liaison with a stranger lol, Jah seemed more interested in the ducks than the dogs, Thankyou another fab vlog and i hope your bladder didn't bust 😂 x
Love it when you go back to the silent screen icons. Had heard about Theda Bara but this was an awesome profile. Thank you, Jordan. ❤️ Love your channel.
I've never even heard of her but that's why I love your vlogs because I learn so much of the past and watch videos and documentaries. I love older movies much better than some of the movies they make now. Thanks Jordan your a big jar of awesome sauce!
Even though I have never heard of this woman , I find her story very interesting. This is why I love your channel because I learn so much about the history of the famous people & famous places. Thank you. Please give Jah a big hug for me.
OMG! I was so excited to see you doing a vlog on Bara. Then you went to the dog park with Valentino statues. Full circle for me as I found your vlogs researching Valentino! WOW. I am truly engrossed in the silent film era of Hollywood and your vlogs have educated me on all the other actors and directors of this time period. TY!
Jah wants to join the ducks and turtles. Lol. Great video and great history. Love Hollywood and its history. Have a great day Jordan. God bless and stay safe. 😉😁❤
How great to get all this info on Theda Bara.......Jordan your work is awesome and I Love getting to see your travels and hear all the little known info on so many of the old stars....Thank you So much for your work : )....I cannot wait to watch all of your vlogs
Wow Jordan here you go out doing yourself again. Thanks for taking us through the ages of Hollywood and all that it entails. Have to admit that I was not familiar with Theda Bara until now. It's a shame how people, esp woman, were treated in the old days of Hollywood, but it seems to have been anywhere including factories. So nice to see that little Jahster out and about and so happy. Just love your vlogs :)
What a lovely day, Jah and the park was wonderful. Enjoyed the history on Theda Bara, sorta sad what the studios did to some of these stars, but I guess the trade out was money, and who in those days could pass that sort of money down? Loved the vlog today, thanks for sharing !
Just curious are any of these amazing homes of the actors haunted?? I m truly enjoying your videos n knowledge of golden Hollywood just luv it !!! Thank you
Even though she came to hate being a movie star it did bring her wealth and comfort, and brought her out to CA where she met and fell in love. She was doing better than the average American back then, and lived in huge homes when the average American lived in a very small home. And lucky because her looks were not out of the ordinary.
Jordan, Theda Bara, was the original Vamp! How fantastic and wonderful the way; she treated the little girl across the street! I always love and learn something new; watching your vlogs! All stars; are not in Heaven! 👍⭐👍
I really enjoy your channel! I attempted to visit Theda Bara's grave last year, but it was in a wing that was roped off to the public. The picture with the skull is another silent film actress, Valeska Suratt, photographed by Orval Hixon.
Jah is so precious with his little nose sticking out of the covers😊❤. What is going on with these parks? Darn it man. This was a very interesting vlog Jordan. Wow what a contract she had!!! Her outfits were barely there. Lol. You are so amazing!!! I love the vlogs. Such a variety of them and so much knowledge. Thank you so much for making your Lionhearts so happy👏👏👍. Much love to you and Jah ❤ ❤ ❤
She was beautiful, hope I can find and watch at least a movie of hers. I'm not much into locations of movies or past homes of stars but I do like hearing about movies and songs that I never heard of and looking for them! :)
You should get the book Hollywood Babylon written by Kenneth Anger He's a former child star. Theda Bara is profiled In this book. There's another book Hollywood Book Of Death written by James Robert Parish.
What an interesting history! I had heard of Theda Bara of course but never knew anything about her. She was from Cincy how cool! How sad that she was so restricted by contract but I guess she must have wanted it and so signed it. Beautiful houses you guys strolled by! Loved seeing Jah by your side! He does make a great wingman! Thank you Jordan you're the best!
Great vlog! I'm 46 and of course I've seen/heard "kiss me you fool". Always kinda thought it was attributed to Greta Garbo. Keep doing these vlogs Jordan, because some of us need them to connect the dots between what we know and what we think we know.
The actual line is "Kiss me, my fool," and it's from "A Fool There Was." This film is execrable by today's standards and nearly unwatchable, if it wasn't for that infamous line. Greta Garbo's 1926 film, "A Woman Of Affairs," features a similarly "scandalous" leading lady based on the real Lady Idina Sackville, a notorious aristocrat who married and divorced a few times too many for the respectability standards of those days. (Unlike the evil vamp in "A Fool There Was," c. 1916, Garbo's portrayal is sympathetic.) Lady Idina was the descendant of the Earl de la Warre, after whom Delaware was named. She also was queen of the wife-swapper set in Kenya during the 1920's. An excellent biography of Lady Idina is "The Bolter" by Frances Osborne, her great granddaughter. Thank you for this vlog!
I just started watching your RUclips channel. I enjoyed a few that I have seen. thank you for the history of some of the places like Theda Bara's history. I lived in California all my life and I don't know all the history. I have to visit and see some of these places. Maybe, I will bump into you one day ;-)
Interesting vlog on Theda Bara Jordan. I knew about her, but had never seen her home before. Someone mentioned Louise Brooks. Boy, the story of her life is an interesting one for sure. Jah gets cuter each time I see him!
I enjoyed the Valentino Park I thought it was awesome 💙Theda was a Beautiful Girl. I remember that vlog of that lady speaking at Valentino Memorial. I think it's wonderful that Theda was happy after her movie career, so many aren't,💙Lovely Vlog Jordan. I love it💙
Hi!, so glad she was smart about saving her earnings & found love. The park's fountain was really lovely with the different palm trees. Stay safe😎 Yay Jah!!!
I heard her voice in a recorded interview and yes , her voice was well elocued and attractive. I wish she was given a talking movie. Consider her a Gothic actress.
Ther is a really good podcast about the first century of Hollywood called You Must Remember This. Katrina Longworth has done series on the blacklist, Hollywood blondes,MGM. Last year she the whole season on Boris and Bella. This year she is debunking some of the stories in Hollywood Babylon. Think it’s been around for about 4 or 5 years. Haven’t listened to every single episode y,but have never been disappointed. May give you some ideas for future Hollywood theme vlogs.
As a movie lover since I was a kid, and that includes silent films, I've known who Theda Vera was for many years. Great vlog Jordan! I read years ago that her name was an anagram for "Arab death" but maybe I'm mistaken.
Wow she was very beautiful. I don't blame her. I would have quit too. How odd how things were back then. For people to believe your character is really you. Thanks for teaching me about her Jordan. I had never heard of her til today.
Hey Jordan...Jeff from Hollywoodland Antiques...I lived at 2542 Verbena Drive in Beachwood Canyon...the Spanish house south of mine was a well known early Theda Bara house. Great house from the 20s.
What a beautiful woman with way to many restrictions put on her for her career. She did the right thing to have a press conference. I bet she had a huge weight lifted off her shoulders stopped living a lie. The Park is gorgeous. Your homeland and travel vlogs are all good for me 🦁❤️!!!
I have quickly become a fan of your videos and I just LOVE little JAH. What a cutie. I could honestly just watch Jah play for a while. Dogs are the best.
My dad was twice my mom's age when they got married. When I was little and a Beatles fan my dad would tease me about it, so mom said to ask him about somebody called Theda Bara. Next time he teased me I did. You should have seen his face!
Do you think that having those gardners there, mowing the lawn and watering constantly, influences the activity in the park? It looks so fun to ride those mowers!
Funny you say that! I told my husband if I ever win the lottery he will know because I will show up to his work on a ride on lawn mower because he's always wanted one.
I've loved Theda Bara since I was a teenager. I've read every biography, seen every movie, collected all the pictures, you name it. Thank you so much for this, I love hearing about her.
Edit: most of her films were destroyed when Fox burnt down. The ones that do survive in their entirety are among the least popular. She never had children. I believe she died of stomach cancer.
What a shame about all those historical films and footage lost
One exception: “A Fool There Was,” featuring her breakout role, still exists in its entirety. Fun film, too.
@@c.7610 it's on RUclips! I can't tell you how many times I've watched it
lol my dog was so annoyed by this video haha shes named after Theda Bara so her ears perked up everytime you said her name
Great Vlog!.. Love Her House!!.. I Love Jah So Much!!.. I Love The Way Jah Glances Back At You When Your Walking!!.. What Love He Has For You!!.. Thank You!!!!
Wow, for that long ago, those costumes she wore were really shocking. I've never seen any of her movies. I'm glad she found some happiness when she retired. Great vlog Jordan, thank you.
Love when you cover the early stuff. The history and stories of how people are connected are fascinating.
Maybe the original "type-cast" star in Hollywood. She could not escape her role. Thanks for sharing Jordan.
That's why it was so important for actors to establish themselves in multiple roles. A big breakout role or a character the actor fits so perfectly can be a detriment later. Bet we can name hundreds who were typecast.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it :) 40 films is very impressive.
Neat story about the little girl who lived across from Theda Bara. And that she was loved and taken that day to Rudolphs funeral. Wow
Charles and Theda's house was on my route to school and, most afternoons, he would greet me and we would have a chat about school and my friends. He was "Uncle Charlie", a kind, tall Englishman, and we were great friends. He always asked me to come inside and "say hello to aunt Theda". Usually, she was in the bedroom, lying under the covers.

Looking back, it ws a lovely time of innocence, when my parents never worried and our front door was always open.
I, hadn’t heard of Theda Bara. WOW! She was VaVoom. Another, great vlog Jordan. 🦁👍👏👍🦁 Sending Jah 🐒 belly rubs.
I just love Theda Bara, I swear I haven't seen eyes like hers besides Marc Bolan (who is my favorite musician of all time). She's just beautiful! I think it's just terrible that the studio restricted her personal life so much.
She truly was the First “ Manufactured “ Star . Really the beginning the Publicity Studio Departments . She was slightly before all the others , Gish sisters , Swanson , Colleen Moore , Pickford . They all were just beginning too !
Oh my goodness, that is the cutest opening ever! I love your little friend.
Oh yes I truly love that dear little doggy
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! I loved your natural narration delivery of Theda Bara’s life. Apparently there was much more to her than “The Vamp” character. This was an amazing vlog!

Wow Jordan here you go out doing yourself again. Thanks for taking us through the ages of Hollywood and all that it entails. Have to admit that I was not familiar with Theda Bara until now.

Love Theda! Thank you and Jah for posting.
Just curious are any of these amazing homes of the actors haunted?? I m truly enjoying your videos n knowledge of golden Hollywood just luv it !!! Thank you

COOL.. I LIKE THE OLD SLIVER SCREEN.....
Jordan, Theda Bara, was the original Vamp! How fantastic and wonderful the way; she treated the little girl across the street! I always love and learn something new; watching your vlogs! All stars; are not in Heaven! 👍⭐👍
you are so smart and you know so much about these people instead of watching TV now I'm going to start watching more of your vlogs
Excellent, entertaining and highly informative as always! Where did you get that awesome skull necklace?
Aww, I love lil' Jah! 😀Morn' broski
So cool all this info on Theda Bara.. So interesting...
Thanks
I really enjoy your channel! I attempted to visit Theda Bara's grave last year, but it was in a wing that was roped off to the public.
The picture with the skull is another silent film actress, Valeska Suratt, photographed by Orval Hixon.

Always enjoy your vlogs on Hollywood film history. Keep up the good work!
I think Cyndi Lauper gets the inspiration for her "Three Penny Opera" make up from Theda Bara's make up
Another great vlog! Have a great Labor Day weekend!
You should get the book
Hollywood Babylon written by Kenneth Anger
He's a former child star. Theda Bara is profiled
In this book. There's another book
Hollywood Book Of Death written by James Robert Parish.
What an interesting history! I had heard of Theda Bara of course but never knew anything about her. She was from Cincy how cool! How sad that she was so restricted by contract but I guess she must have wanted it and so signed it. Beautiful houses you guys strolled by! Loved seeing Jah by your side! He does make a great wingman! Thank you Jordan you're the best!
Great vlog! I'm 46 and of course I've seen/heard "kiss me you fool". Always kinda thought it was attributed to Greta Garbo.

Interesting vlog on Theda Bara Jordan. I knew about her, but had never seen her home before. Someone mentioned Louise Brooks. Boy, the story of her life is an interesting one for sure. Jah gets cuter each time I see him!
Way to go Thada!! Letting go of your money making persona was a very brave thing to do
I enjoyed the Valentino Park I thought it was awesome 💙Theda was a Beautiful Girl. I remember that vlog of that lady speaking at Valentino Memorial. I think it's wonderful that Theda was happy after her movie career, so many aren't,💙Lovely Vlog Jordan. I love it💙
Hi!, so glad she was smart about saving her earnings & found love. The park's fountain was really lovely with the different palm trees. Stay safe😎 Yay Jah!!!
I must say I have never heard of Theada Bara ; but that is what I like about you you give us new ideas and inspiration 👍🏻💙🎬🎥😎🐶🦁👍🏻
I heard her voice in a recorded interview and yes , her voice was well elocued and attractive. I wish she was given a talking movie. Consider her a Gothic actress.
Ther is a really good podcast about the first century of Hollywood called You Must Remember This. Katrina Longworth has done series on the blacklist, Hollywood blondes,MGM. Last year she the whole season on Boris and Bella. This year she is debunking some of the stories in Hollywood Babylon. Think it’s been around for about 4 or 5 years. Haven’t listened to every single episode y,but have never been disappointed. May give you some ideas for future Hollywood theme vlogs.
That's awesome that her family changed their names to hers (Bara.) But that studio contract is downright shocking.
Good morning Jordan. You are welcome, I hope the cables work out for you. Have a great day!
Thanks
I didnt know much about her before this vlog, thanks man was very cool!
Enjoyed this video very much thank you
Thanks
As a movie lover since I was a kid, and that includes silent films, I've known who Theda Vera was for many years. Great vlog Jordan! I read years ago that her name was an anagram for "Arab death" but maybe I'm mistaken.
I mentioned it in the video. I have read that as well
Oh sorry I must have missed that Jordan!
Wow she was very beautiful. I don't blame her. I would have quit too. How odd how things were back then. For people to believe your character is really you. Thanks for teaching me about her Jordan. I had never heard of her til today.
Can't believe her tiny house still exists. The lot alone is worth millions.
Hey Jordan...Jeff from Hollywoodland Antiques...I lived at 2542 Verbena Drive in Beachwood Canyon...the Spanish house south of mine was a well known early Theda Bara house. Great house from the 20s.
you do a great job Jordan.
What a beautiful woman with way to many restrictions put on her for her career. She did the right thing to have a press conference. I bet she had a huge weight lifted off her shoulders stopped living a lie. The Park is gorgeous. Your homeland and travel vlogs are all good for me 🦁❤️!!!
this was a great story i loved it.
You can't judge a book by its cover
Great Vlog Jordan ! I recommended this vlog to the Theda Bara Fan club website
Thanks!
Good Morning from TX!!
Great video lot of fun info 👍🏻
Great vlog about Theda Bara. You so informative and I am always learning something new. Thank you and say hi to Jah!
Thanks Vianey
Ive been missing latley....this was great! Love your work!!
I’m from Cincinnati and had no idea she was born here! Thanks for sharing.
I have quickly become a fan of your videos and I just LOVE little JAH. What a cutie. I could honestly just watch Jah play for a while. Dogs are the best.
He's the best
I love Theda!!!
I like watching cuz when u walk, it looks like your floating. I bet u could walk with a book on your head.
My dad was twice my mom's age when they got married. When I was little and a Beatles fan my dad would tease me about it, so mom said to ask him about somebody called Theda Bara. Next time he teased me I did. You should have seen his face!
Awesome ❤️
Do you think that having those gardners there, mowing the lawn and watering constantly, influences the activity in the park?
It looks so fun to ride those mowers!
Funny you say that! I told my husband if I ever win the lottery he will know because I will show up to his work on a ride on lawn mower because he's always wanted one.
