May her soul, heart and beauty live on forever. She was a very beautiful and lovely young lady during the silent film era. She was also gorgeous and attractive while watching her movies.
She was a very beautiful and attractive young woman. She’ll always be remembered for her theatrical talents. Her soul, heart and beauty will live on forever. I’ve purchased several of her movies in DVDs and will purchase next a few books of her life.
