She is charm at its best. Delightful. Why did my film professors spend so much time on Louise Brooks when Colleen had talent, fun, beauty and radiance in addition to something very sweet? I know not many of her films have survived, but her mystique is also captivating.
I had seen Colleen Moore in interviews in the "Hollywood" series decades ago back around 1979 or 1980. She was obviously an old woman at that point, but she beamed with charm and class and seemed quite personable. Yet, until a week ago, I never had the privilege of viewing one of her films in its entirety until I saw "Ella Cinders" on YT. She was as cute as a button in an otherwise very silly film. It's a pity that she has become an after thought in modern times overshadowed by both Clara Bow and Louise Brooks, both of whom I admire immensely. If I had to choose a favorite between the three, I don't know which one I would select. I really, really want to see "Lilac Time", which I understand survives and was not lost, but cannot find on DVD.
Thanks much for the comment. I have a whole bunch of rare Colleen Moore clips posted. Clara Bow and Renee Adoree as well. Swanson lots of stuff. I'm uploading a clip of Charles Farrell and Esther Ralston this evening.
Fascinating. I wonder what percentage of these clothes were meant to be taken as serious guides to fashion. Some look like Ziegfield with breasts covered! In some of her small gestures and expressions, Moore reminds me of Lillian Gish. I read that Moore spent a lot of time trying to jam herself into Gish's mold before the flapper came along to liberate her true talent.
Maybe not the"Fish mold," but Moore did spend some time being a long-locked winsome before bobbing her hair and becoming a star. She was lucky that fashion in what was considered attractive changed in her favor at the moment that she was young enough to benefit from it.
She wasn't supposed to be s star, but her charm and natural beauty lead from a "Well, we're try her out as a favor" to the best hire they ever had. And her doll house is getting refurbished!
if you have the time to read her autobiography, I found it at the library... it's so delightful. And talks about her assembling her famous doll house. I was so pleased to see it in person in Chicago. Also unlike many, her later years she found love and was quite happy.
she was supposed to be the fiancee of the one man, who was getting a look at his "old pal" who was dressed as a beautiful grown woman. She was supposed to be the center of attention! Oh how could they do this to HER!

Moore was the reigning film flapper for years, and you can see why, here. Not only was she beautiful, but what a dynamic personality, to boot!

Happy Birthday Colleen !!! Thank Jeff Alanson !!!
although expensive ,this color sequence could be restored by re separating the colors through the computer and special soft ware
That would be beautiful

"Donald has talked of nothing but this O'Dare girl for days. She's charming AF"
Ha..a puppy pocket in her sleeve

It must have been awfully fun to be Colleen Moore.
