Quite a few of the silent films show a lot of nudity, some of the women who became talkie stars after the censors kicked in, in the 1930s, did nude scenes.

Ever notice that there were very few blonde silent movie stars?

I still remember when SNL did a takeoff called "The Black Shadow", starring Bill Russell

I have also noticed that. I think it may have been hard to film girls with blond hair using primitive cameras, lighting and film.

Howard Hughs selected jean Harlow to star in the 1929 "Hell's Angels" but the state of the art had advanced quite a bit by then. They remade the film when sound came in and fired the original actress and used Harlow for the re-shoot.

Anita Page would have been a better choice than Harlow. She was one of the very few silent era blondes...she was prettier and more talented than Harlow.

Neat.

It’s funny how they didn’t really take care of films way back when.

And I think the networks taped over certain TV shows well into the 60’s. Never imaging that people in the future would want to see them and put them on you tube.
