The Silver Screen Oasis

Wow, I totally missed this earlier. Mighty Big news, Two formally lost Olive Thomas features have been found! OUT YONDER, and THE GLORIOUS LADY! Anyone else heard about this?

Olive Thomas is number 4 on my top 10 Silent Screen Beauties list, between Jacqueline Logan, and Delores Costello. And I have only seen her in THE FLAPPER (1920). An enchanting little film that is on DVD from Milestone, and beautifully restored by Eastman House. Along with a fine documentary on the tragic Olive Thomas. Now find some Corinne Griffith titles already! They have to be around someplace!

The beautiful Olive Thomas, One of early Hollywood's greatest tragedies.



Here is a photo I colorized about a year ago. It took me several hours to locate, but it was worth it. Olive legend tells, had amazingly rare violet colored eyes, just like Elizabeth Taylor! Kind of spooky!



"Everybody's Sweetheart" The violet eyed Olive Thomas, died under suspicious circumstances in 1920.
