I completely agree Ms. La Marr just looks outrageously painted to me in stills. There is one scene still of her and others which also shows Agnes Ayres and Agnes seems far more beautiful - and younger - than Babs.feaito wrote: And what about Barbara La Marr? Said to be one of the most beautiful women ever, at least in stills she doesn't look that ravishing. Has anyone seen her on film?
Billie Dove was another actress who looked very beautiful, especially in the late twenties and early thirties.
