RIP 2011

Barbara Kent at 102, one of the few silent film players who were still with us. She did not have a long career, played most notably in Paul Fejos 1928 film Lonesome (a wonderful film). She refused all interviews about her film career and I suspect that is why so many silent film peeps I know were so obsessed with her.

She retired and was Garbo's assistant for years, all those mysterious Garbo secrets went to the grave with her, unless she left a diary.

Mickey Rooney and Diana Serra Cary aka Baby Peggy are silent film actors still around.
