I have a number that I like, but my Grandfather actually carried a picture of Theda Bara in his wallet until he died.\n\nHe thought she was the most exotic and sexy thing he had ever seen.  (Clarification... he never used the word sexy, but I knew what he meant) \n\nhttp://silentladies.com/PBara2.html\n\nEditted:  I just could not remember Louise Brooks so I looked her up on Yahoo pictures/images.  First thing that popped up was a few naked pictures of her.  Quite shocking for the silent movie era.  So I am not so sure about the "innocence" part, but she is/was beautiful.  I will have to locate some of her movies.

Not many people are alive today that were at Pearl Harbor and I believe that the last survivor of the Titanic died recently.  \n\nThe first movie about the Titanic didn't come out until 1943.\n\nI think the fact that 9/11 was a terrorist attack on our own homeland soil is the reason it is such a touchy subject.

I like Charlie Chaplin the best from this time.  I have seen City Lights, Modern Times, and various other short films he did.  He's way funnier then Buster Keaton.\n\nCity Lights is funny and it is also very heart warming.\n\nI would even say it was the 1st "Chick Flick"

There were three Titanic survivors still living as of April 15, 2005 - the anniversary of the ship's sinking in 1912 - and the Titanic International Society lists them as still living. You can read about them here:

i think "Titanic" is a great, but sad movie. it's a shame that all those people died on april 15, 1912! :(

Hojo is right.  "The Sneeze", made in late 1893 or early 1894 by Thomas Edison is the oldest existing movie.  It's just a guy sneezing, but it was what Edison used to get the patent for the movie camera he'd invented.

I used to live there for the last 18 of 20 years, live in neighboring city...the 3 names by themselves don't ring a bell...perhaps if you can provide an estimated age..might help.

Hello,\nNot in "The Perils of Pauline", with Pearl White. It was another heroine, Helen Holmes in one of her serials (title escapes me at this moment).\nYou can find Mabel Normand chained to the tracks in "Barney Oldfield's Race for a Life", from 1913, for example. They are spoofing the bit, so it must predate that movie.\nHope this helps\n\nHello again...\nPlease take a look at the IMDb's page for "Barney..."\nhttp://us.imdb.com/title/tt0002663/\nThere's a little plot summary and, if you scroll down to the user commentaries, you´ll find a mention to the tracks part...\nAnyway, there are theatrical plays from the 1860's with somebody put in the tracks ("Under the Gaslight"), so around the 1910's that was already parody field and probably was never played in a serious mood in any movie.\nRegards
