Well, a new month means new stars! October is one of my favorite times of year and it looks like it was blessed with some of my favorite film stars' births like Buster Keaton, Olive Thomas, and Lilyan Tashman.
Keep a look out for my next entry in the silent film child star series which should be up either today or tomorrow. I will also be doing an entry where I want YOUR opinions, so keep an eye out for that as well.
Happy October!

Excellent selections, Jessica. May I ask if you discard names because they've been featured within the last couple of years?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't complain if you select another personality or 2 for Oct.31 (my b-day).
I don't discard names, it is just a matter of who I know has a birthday this month and who I am familiar with. I know there are other silent film stars born in these months that I have omitted but I just add the ones I know for now.
DeleteAnother month and another set of great pictures. I love the picture of Lillian Gish and Bela Lugosi! He was actually quite handsome! Some of those child stars are probably gone now but Olivia De Havilland was born in 1916 and she is still alive and kicking.
ReplyDeleteBela certainly was a handsome fella! There are pictures of him when he was younger playing Jesus and he is very handsome. But, yes, thankfully Miss Olivia is around still!
