Oh my goodness that is such a marvelous photo of the sisters Gish. New to me as well. Thanks for sharing Kitty!
I haven't seen every photo in this thread, so do forgive me if I post a repeat of a particular one. I have a few that I'd love to share, starting with this one of a personal favorite of mine, Clara Bow:
I love it. Harkens back to her tomboy days when she lived in the Brooklyn tenements.
Oh, it is so NICE to see you, Betty Lou!! How have you been?
That is definitely an unusual photo. I've never seen it before. Thanks for sharing.
I have been doing very well this whole time! I'm very glad to be back.
Yep, Clara's looking tough in this one! I wanna say that this was taken in... 1925?
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
a fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
and celluloid heroes never really die...
I can't seem to find very many photographs of Gladys Leslie.

You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
The Fairbanks twins, Marion and Madeleine. They were most famous from 1912 to 1916.

I always loved this one of Clara. Looks like 1923 or 1924?

Oh, my! Is that thing an earring??

Yep, it appears so! I wonder how heavy it felt?

It looks like a pocket watch. I bet it wasn't comfortable!

Gladys Leslie, Vitagraph Star (as indicated by the sheetmusic cover).
We'd see this photograph used as the model for this cover of Motion Picture in 1919.
