A beautiful tribute to these lovely ladies. It is so very sad that they don't have much or any information about them. Thank you for your work in keeping their memory alive.
Good Morning Rhiannon, great to see another great video, really hope your well. Again such beautiful ladies, wearing really beautiful dresses & costumes. It's a shame there are no records or info on some of them but at least we got to take a look at them. Stay safe & can't wait for the next video. Andy. ❤😊❤
Well good evening here Andy I'm glad to see you I was a little bit worried about you I didn't see you for a while. Hope you are well. It is a shame that records are lost and some of their history is lost but it's nice to try and bring what they might have looked like to the Forefront. Thank you as always for your support Andy it's really appreciated and you stay safe and take care
This is wonderful and thoughtful. There is a cemetery by my apt (Cavalry in Queens) and in it there is a burial plot monument for actors from the 1880s-1940’s buried there. I think about it all the time. It’s really beautiful
Thank you very much I'm glad you enjoyed it. I would love to go to a cemetery like that that, just to do research and pay my respects. My grandfather is originally from the New York area 5th generation, and there was always stories that I have a great great aunt that helps start a movie studio either New York or New Jersey, a small one just shortly after the turn of the last century. It could have been a story made up by my grandfather but I really should research that one. But sadly everybody that could help out has now passed away
@@RhiannonsAdventuresInHistory what a story! I hope you find it. My dad is looking for an Air Force bar in downtown Brooklyn where his parents met. There’s a good book called His Tree Forgotten (I think) about forgotten monuments in NYC. I really enjoy the geologic anthropology of it
@@elihyland4781 i hope he finds it! Years ago when I was sick I found 'Forgotten NY' webpage, now he has made a book. Some amazing history and gorgeous buildings.
Glad you liked it :) I tried, even going through newspapers of the time. I may have missed some info that is out there somewhere. It is so sad, just like the photos on LOC of faces that are labled 'woman' or man or saddest of all - child.
Lovely, lovely work, as always. Does your experience in this sort of work help you in determining eye color, hair color, and the like? I read once, many years ago, that in filming the movie "Jezebel" that a number of tests were made to find a color that would "read" red in a B&W film for Bette Davis' gown for the Olympus Ball; I believe they finally used a rather odd shade of bronze.
Thank you glad you enjoyed it :) I do try to research to see what color eyes, hair they might have had (the internet doesn't always get it right). Movie posters can give a bit of direction, but even back then they would change someone's eye color (Colleen Moore for example - one green eye one brown eye - so they would usually go with brown). Sometimes I can tell with the eyes and hair just by zooming in and seeing the shades. I heard that too with her gown in that famous scene. Even the makeup of the Silent Movie Actors/Actresses most people would be surprised what actual colors they used to portray lets say dark red lips, skin, eyeshadow etc.
@@RhiannonsAdventuresInHistory Thank you so much for your courteous reply. I really only just wondered; your recreations seem so expert. So sad that, on occasion, with no reference materials available, you probably just have to use your best guess, or to be guided by your experience. But your research, when it's available, is always spot-on! Congratulations and appreciations on all the good work. By the way, I had never heard that about Colleen Moore's eyes; are you at all familiar with the book about her dollhouse?
@@da6885 thank you for the kind words :) Not about the book, but I have seen photos and there is a documentary of the preservation of the dollhouse on this platform :) I would love to see it in person

Thank you for watching Sharon! It is sad, so many unknown faces and stories from the past.
