Silence is Platinum: Episode 6

Hello! 
We are slowly making our way through the series devoted to silent film actors and actresses who died before they were able to appear in a talkie. The purpose of this series to break the silence permanently put on these performers so they can be remembered 100+ years after their deaths.

I hope you enjoy the latest episode dedicated to four silent film actors and actresses who lost their lives in the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. Four bright stars whose lights were dimmed far too soon...
