- Here is the first part of my revamped series, "Famous Deaths of the 1920s," which I started about 2 years ago. Since I made the first 3 parts, I have found many more interesting stories that I want to share with all of you.
0:00 Introduction
0:46 Wallace Reid
7:07 Thomas Ince
12:28 Max Linder
My mother was born in 1905. I've heard lots of the old silent stars as she was an avid movie goer. Even as a child, her mother would let her return the milk bottles for the refund. She would use that change to go to the movies! She told me lots of stories about the movie stars that were popular then!
Don't leave us hanging. Do you remember any you can share?
Blud how old are you💀💀
@@oulo5019He's got to 80 or older, assuming he was born in 1940.
My dad was born in 1904, Mother was born in 1911, She was 48 while he was 55 when I was born. This particular subject was not a part of my childhood. Growing up with everyday stories with references to the 1920s were spoken as if they were yesterday. My mind plays it back that way. I am a new subscriber. You are very thorough with your research while keeping history alive. With a little humor, I have been made to realize how old I am. Just remember, it is connected.
Your a wonderful presenter. The music, the pacing, how you use the "Ken Burns effect" on the pictures. All of it is absolutely perfect. I hope you write a book some day.
Second that, would love a book!
Totally agree
Third that (even if not required).
*you're. And why would a videographer write a book? 🤔
Depression, especially deep depression, is due to brain chemistry and life events. he also seems to have suffering from some other mental disturbance. too bad he received no help, although Freudian therapy might have made it worse. and his poor young wife was so influenced by his behavior, that her mental equilibrium was very affected, too. she was so young.
Max was certainly a handsome dude - just gorgeous - so lively and intelligent, also. so upsetting. this chapter was very well presented. thanks much :) 🌷🌱🥀
A lot of questionable deaths were listed as "heart failure". In the end, all hearts stop beating at the time of death. So, it's really just a euphemism.
Yes in the end all deaths are heart failure.
ODs?
A truck hit em but it was his heart failing that killed em lmao
My late sister, Debbie, and I have always loved the Roaring 20's and I do love your program, I hope that you have more on the 20's
As DW Griffith once allegedly said, ‘ All you have to do to make Hearst turn white as a ghost is mention Ince's name. There's plenty wrong there, but Hearst is too big to touch." Which certainly points to ince’s death not being caused by a bleeding ulcer or any mundane reason. Intriguing mystery. Love your channel. Well done, informative and fun to watch.
You say it so well. This guy is new to me.
Also Ince's wife got 'suddenly VERY rich! She toured the world with this untold wealth. Hearst was a known teatotaller and abstained from booze? Often his parties at San Simeon and Malibu were booze free? So the thought that they were all drunk while on his yacht is iffy? Elinor Glyn and Louella Parsons were also on board ...hence Parson got a column 'FOR LIFE' in Hearst newspapers?
@@suzyfarnham3165 would love to know what really happened!
Wallace Reid is such a sad story. I learned about him in a course on silent movies at the Milwaukee Public Library in the early 70's. The 20's are my favorite decade to research. Great job on this channel! Thanks for sharing!
Can you please do a video about science-fiction magazines in the 1920s and their content
Your channel is a hidden jewel on TH-cam, always love your stuff, plus I keep forgetting to tell you that your voice sounds like a 1920's voice. Your voice sounds like the decade itself, I'm serious. Well always wishing happiness and good health with love from Miami Beach, Florida ❤️
The death of Wallace Reid is so sad. All because Hollyweird pushed him to keep working instead of getting help. Who on earth would want to be famous?
Not me.
Rich, yes.
Famous, no.
Why do you call it Hollyweird? THAT'S weird.
Hollywood, New York, Paris, etc. are full of artists across many genres and with many talents. Artists bring their imaginations to life as much as possible. They are no weirder than you, they just live differently than you (and they're more successful than you and you can't stand it).
Very well done.
I appreciate you record the facts without judging the people. One can speculate from letters, etc., but you keep it professional and respectful.
The 1920s was an age of tremendous change/ transition.
I subscribed to your channel because I want to understand that era better.
My parents were born in 1919 and 1926, respectively. The family stories are helpful, but the lives of famous include a broader perspective.
I'm not surprised about Morphine addiction, or use of drugs - many Civil War veterans returned home with "Old Soldier's Disease" = addiction to Morphine. The drug kills the appetite until the addict is malnourished and immunologically compromised.
Mental health care was non-existent, unless a patient was a danger to themselves and others. The stigma of mental illness prevented care for many who needed it.
Thank you for this excellent presentation.
My parents were born in the exact same years as yours. My father in 1919 and my mom in 1926. 😊
Wallace Reid will always be my favorite from the silent era. Thank you for profiling him. He was a car guy like me!
I got a copy of his mom's book. It is really hard to understand because his mom writes in such a flowery way. She never just comes out and says anything in a straight-forward way. Excellent job.
Whose mother?
@@kcbh24 I’m sorry! That was an important detail to leave off! It was a book by Wallace Reid’s mother.
Supposedly Louella Parsons was on Hearst yacht that weekend & afterwards signed a lifetime contract with Hearst publishing.
Yours is the best and most articulate channel for presentation of these cases. Thank-you very much. And I will continue to watch!
There's a famous photo of Max taken during WW1. He's a shell of his former self. Heart-breaking actually. They say the war changed him, I agree.
I remember when I first read about the theories regarding Thomas Ince's death, I thought it was absolutely insane. Just goes to show that Hollywood has always been a crazy, tragically sensational place!
Elinor Glyn's elder sister was the famous fashion designer in the 1910s known as Lucile. She and her husband Sir Cosmo Duff-Gorden were famous survivors of the Titanic. Also I vaguely remember a movie about the cruise.
The news on Wallace Reid didn't get out. There is an interview with Gloria Swanson in which she talks about him. She said he offered to drive her to the set one day and she said no. Indicating she though of him as a drug addict.
5:17 She brings to mind Mrs. Norman Maine.
You are a talented young man
I like your videos. Thank you.
Vintage mysteries and murders are my absolute favorite true crime genre. Just found your channel and love the content. Would love to see additional videos. Subscribed
Larry Semon would be a good one for another part of this. He was Stan Laurel's original partner and Oliver Hardy was a member of his troupe. Had a mysterious death in '28, so mysterious that there was speculation that he may have faked his own death
Mank is a great movie about Hollywood in the early 20th century. Highly recommend it. While not set in the 20s, it does feature Hearst and Davies.
✨You have such an excellent channel! I love everything about the 1920s!✨ Anything on the crooner Russ Columbo? I would have loved to have bought his bungalo, and the fact a movie hasn't been made about the whole event blows my mind. I think we never heard the whole story, not the truth. But OH! How his family hid his death for MAMA MIA Columbo, till the day she died years later.
All the liars make any truth a .......rarity......same today.....Ince was most surely murdered by Hearst......keep up the great work young man.......
Thanks for such a thorough report on these sad stories. You managed to get all the pieces covered, with much sympathy.
I'm enjoying your videos, and I particularly enjoy how well you write them. Many youtube videos are very badly written with very poor grammar. However, your work is excellent.
"Birth of a Nation" is one of the most famous films in the History of Cinema because of the techniques used in the film which are still used to this day. It was based on the novel "The Clansman" and not on just a person's ideology. It may be controversial but aren't most films if they have any significance at all.
I'm so tired of hearing about "Birth of a Nation" IN EVERY VIDEO ABOUT 1920's HOLLYWOOD. Even if it's not mentioned in the video, someone brings it up in the comment section. It's not even the most influential film in the decade.
So glad I went through all 5 parts of this series. They are well done. Looking forward to what you have planned next! Happy Fall.
It seems that Linder had clinical depression caused by a chemical imbalance. Even at times when he should be happy there's an underlying sadness.
31. Such a shame.
Sadly when a young person is about to die from opiat addiction they look back like their old selves , this is weird but it’s true. And very sad because people closest to them fail to seek help thinking they are at peace once again.
Drugs suck the life out of us all whether we use them of a friend/ loved one does...
Bro these videos are awesome thank you
Love your videos!
Odd...Thomas Ince and I share the same birthday. November 16th. Great video!!!
My husbands birthday which he always reminds me is Sally Fields
Really well done... Thanks!
great video as always
Fascinating.
Another brilliant video. Keep it up! Grazie.
It is incredibly amazing! Your interest in the pre “GOLDEN AGE” refreshing for someone so young!
I have a name for you to investigate.
PAUL BERN. He worked for MGM, I believe he was a producer. He was found dead in 1932.
He was married to JEAN HARLOW.
The story is interesting but I do not believe he committed suicide.
Please tell me what you think 🤔
Love your videos! Keep up the great work!!!
KUDOS 🧝🏼♀️✌🏼
Thanks for part 4
Sorry to post twice. I should have complimented the channel master on all the work put into this channel back then and to date in 2022. But I went back to view this again, after becoming familiar (thanks to the internet) with some of Mr. Reid's leading man work. I think it is fair to say he is largely forgotten today and certainly unlike Valentino, Fairbanks, Lon Chaney or William S. Hart among the dramatic actors.. Forgotten by the general public like another in his leading man category, Thomas Meighan.
Well done. Great style, content. Looking forward to the next tales.
These are excellent presentations, well documented with footage and excellently narrated too.
Really appreciate the level of objective presentation. In all 3 of the subjects you vlogged about you blended hindsight with what was acceptable at that point in time nicely. It’s so easy to apply today’s standards to past events. Looking forward to more of your videos.
I love your channel! Thank you!
Love this channel. I've always been fascinated with the 20's!
Beautiful work!Thank you so much👏👏👏
I LOVE your very informative videos! Though this one is bitter sad, Strangly the use of the Berlin song "Blue Sky's" is strangly perfect, somehow the song has a very sad and melancholy atmosphere about it- giving the video a sad and tragic feel to it! I LOVE your very well-done videos! These ought to be presented on the "History Channel" as well!
Don't ever wish for TH-cam content creators to go mainstream. It's a quick, easy way to ruin the magic and quality work you come to appreciate from your favorite channels.
Hi my cousin was born in 1921 and she grew up loving the movies even did modeling and did beauty pagents in Texas.. anyway my cousin got noticed and during the depression ended up getting a movie deal at 15 or 16..my great grandfather was born 3 years before her and reguarded her like a kid sister when she'd visit them in east Texas.. anyway my cousin was actress Linda Darnell..and she became a alcoholic when her roles began to dry up..but she refused to ( Couch Hop) so to speak and that's how come her roles were drying up and I honestly respect her more for not sleazing her way to the top but its very sad how she passed away and I wish I could have known her growing up it might've been neat i got to know her through my grandpa and his dads stories and then telling me she was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside..but the 1920s wasn't the only time Hollywood was a cess pool..it was pretty lousy from when my cousin started to act in the 40s 50s 60s to the present..actors aren't better than anyone and are just doing a job and at the end of the day are still somebody's loved ones
Her are a few other names who died in the 20s that you could include in a future video
Robert La Follette Sr.
William Jennings Bryan
Nellie Bly
Eugene V. Debs
Robert Todd Lincoln
Franz Kafka
John Burroughs
My maternal grandmother Hazel Williams was a Mack Sennett Bathing Beauty when she was in her teens, she was born in 1905. My mom took me and my sister to UCLA to see one of my grandmother's movie, "Picking Peaches". It was an undiscribable feeling watching that movie. Mack Sennett also had the Bathing Beauties shave their arm pits and that's how that got started.
Love this stuff, good job man!👍
You put out Awesome vlogs, there certainly unique and informative. Thanks for your effort, and hard work you put in each and every one.
Thank you very much for this excellent video - it was worth waiting for! I particularly liked your profile of Max Linder, as I had heard about his sad life, but knew very little about him personally. If you are going to do another sequel on famous deaths, have you considered that of Lucille Ricksen? I don't know if you have already covered her story, but I first read about her in a highly intriguing book, Dangerous Curves on High Heels, which featured short biographies of silent screen actresses who either died young or fell on hard times. I kept reading the story of Lucille over and over again, as it was so shocking. Please do more videos - I love silent films and your channel is an excellent way of learning more on the subject!
You made that book sound like a good one, believe i'll check it out, thx!
I read that book, very good! The author also wrote a second book, but I could not find it at any library.
I am also from Chicago, like Lucille. She was a child star who died at 14 in 1922. There are rumors the causes of death were either exhauston, TB, or a botched abortion. Very sad. There are a few videos about her on YT.
Again a brilliant video - your passion for your subject comes through in all your videos. You have a great reading voice so easy to listen too 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Can you please do a list of stuff that went into the public domain this year
Thanks for all your work! Remarkable!
Can you please do a video about Hugh Gransback
Wallace Reid appears to have had some real strong women in his life. Much love to Mrs. Wallace Reid and Mama Reid. It’s crazy to think that his legacy really is all about his addiction and death and not at all the multitalented artist he was in life.
Keep up the great work young man!
Regarding Thomas Ince, there exists a great movie, the Cats Meow". Wonderfuly creative. Its explore one of the more lurid rumors.
Glad Maude lived to a ripe old age. Sad about the couple. RIP to all.
Weel done! Thank you~
Great stuff!
Great video thanks for posting
We want to see the chever man behind this clever channel sir :)
Lou Ella, got That Lifelong Contract, Somehow!!!!!!!!!!!
Very interesting 🤨
I love the 1920s , great job man !
The studio chiefs back then were horrible people who didn't care about the actors who worked for them.
I live in a house built in 1924. I like to imagine the life this house has seen. There are no sad, angry spirits here.
Cool!
T1920'sC,
You have done 👍 an Excellent 👌
Job with the Information and Narration

THE 1920s=TO ME,THAT DECADE DOES HOLD A LOT FOR ME🙏🙏MY DAD WAS BORN IN 1927🌹🌹:THAT DECADE:MY GRANDPARENTS WERE ALL ALREADY BORN•DAYS:GONE,BUT NOT FORGOTTEN:🌹🌹🌹❤️🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
Ok My Friend. Thank you
Marian Davies wasn't just his then girlfriend, she was his girlfriend for the rest of his life
👍😊
morphine does NOT keep you awake, it sends you into a dull stupor, once immunity or dependence is established, the drug simply stops the agonizing pain that not having it causes. probably best to stick to what you know and not tell people things you don't know to be true, especially given history is so objective as it is and the integrity of the teller of history is very important
Love early hollywood not so much silent movies but the early talkies
Ince’s daughter confirmed there was no bullet wound on her father’s body and she was the most credible witness. If Hearst had shot Ince by mistake out of jealousy, this seems unlikely, Marion had affairs with other men while she was Hearst’s witness so he would have needed to shoot quite a few people. I think alcohol connection is most likely. The fact no one mentioned this after prohibition ended is meaningless because the law had still been broken and the publicity would still have been unhelpful to say the least
My Grandmother’s favorite actor was Wallace Reid.
Appropriately enough, the title of Max Linder's last movie - "Au Secours" - means "Help!"
Have you seen Babylon Berlin?
I watched the first two seasons a while back, but I couldn't watch the rest because I moved to Japan and it's not on Netflix there, and I don't have a VPN. It's a great show, though. I really enjoyed it, and I don't usually like dramas.
100 years ago. Or was it?
I was born in July of 1996, morphine does much more than change your mood. It affects your electrolytes, and that will kill you. Just stumbled on your channel , and will subscribe .
So sad😢😢
"Begs the question" is used incorrectly.
Important people? The rest don’t matter I guess
Reid had something else going on.
It weren't the drug.
Morphine is a god send for those who need it.
I'm going to win Powerball tonight and megamillion Tuesday night
Could Linder have suffered from clinical depression, with PTSD thrown on top of it?
Driver could mean an Ambulance Driver and he would have seen up close the horrors of war even if he had been driving patients on the mend well behind the lines.
"popular with people from many backgrounds....." hmm... I wonder what that could mean LOL
Good luck
There is a feature film or tv movie based on "yellow press" tycoon William Randolph Hearst's infamous yacht excursion with Ince and other hollywood insider & notables on board . I do remember eccentric comedian & entertainer Eddie Izzard was in it and gave a really seriously good performance and very unlike his comedic appearances stand up comedy, talk shows and so on. If anyone knows the title and date it was released, please reply !
