<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Theda Bara is one of the most iconic stars of all time. If you bring up the famous stars of the Silent Era, she is certainly one of the very first names that comes up. Unfortunately, while her image may be familiar to many, her acting and the lightning impact she made on society is not. Time has not been kind to her nitrate films, most are lost. Mysterious and intriguing, she became the Vamp, THE sex symbol of the era. Even though she was active a mere decade, she has an amazing 44 credits to her name.</span><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><i>Theda Bara, My Mentor</i> follows Theda Bara and her relationship with a little girl, her neighbor, Joan Craig, during the 1940's and 1950's. Joan was born to wealthy parents and lived across the street from Theda Bara and her husband, director Charles Brabin. Bara and her husband Brabin had long since retired from films and were living a quiet life in Beverly Hills. One day, Joan noticed Brabin, or Uncle Charlie, and her life changed forever. After visiting the Brabin's home, the infamous Theda Bara decided that Joan was special and began a relationship and friendship that would last until Bara's death.</span><br /><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">The mentor relationship between Bara and Joan was quite interesting. Joan seemed to spend most of her free time at the Brabins's house. She learned about Theda Bara's career, was coached on how to be an actress, explored the occult, such as telling fortunes, using a Ouija Board and seeing into a crystal ball, and life. I have this romanticized notion in my head of a Norma Desmond in <i>Sunset Boulevard</i> view of the aging star passing on her wisdom to the sole young person willing to walk into their cavernous abode. It sounds like an enchanting childhood, but in a modern view, I imagine it could be misinterpreted. People with no children taking interest a local child would be thought of in a very different light today. It wouldn't be seen as eccentric, but nefarious. I wish this wasn't the way, but I can unfortunately see people viewing the story in that light. I hate that this thought crept into my mind while reading this book, because I don't think that was the situation. </span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">The book is divided basically into three parts: Joan's memories of Theda, a filmography of Theda's work, and a short biography of Charles Brabin. The first section of Joan's memories are somewhat in order chronologically. It begins with a brief biography of Theda and then breaks into random memories. There are mostly in order, but do jump back and forth a bit, occasionally repeating, which may be confusing. For example, there is a memory about the Ingrid Bergman film, <i>Joan of Arc</i>, which Theda and Charles consulted on, something else happens, then we are again talking about <i>Joan of Arc</i> 50 pages later. The second part chronologically lists every Theda Bara film with a short summary of the film, with tidbit memories thrown in. Part three is a short biography about Charles Brabin. This was one of my favorite parts, because I knew so little about him.</span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">A short biography of Theda is easy enough to find elsewhere so I won't cover that, but I was fascinated by what memories Joan Craig chose to talk about. I'm curious if the book includes all of her memories of Theda or if this is just a smattering of the highlights. First and foremost, the Brabin's lives seemed amazing. Everything they wanted to do, they could do. It is the definition of what a fun, adult life would be - garden parties, dinner parties, vacations, etc. I initially imagined that Theda was a bit of a recluse, but she seemed to have quite the social life, just not the Hollywood party life that would be covered in the Hollywood magazines, especially since neither Theda nor Charles were especially active in pictures. I was fascinated by the parties they had and who attended them. When reading other reviews, many found these details boring and unnecessary, but I love this kind of thing.</span><br /><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Theda had a distinct sense of how Joan should live her life. First and foremost, she was to be an actress. I'm not sure what made her decide that Joan would be a good actress, but Theda was hellbent on making her a star. One could think it's cute or creepy, depending on your view of the situation. Joan would perform for the Brabins at their home. She would participate in school plays and Theda would attend, mysterious in a dark veil. Theda would even advocate for Joan to have better parts in the school plays, insisting that she was the best actress in the school. This is probably one of the best examples in the book of how eccentric actions could be misinterpreted in a modern world. A middle aged woman, taking a special interest in a child who is not related, calling teachers advocating for them. At one point in the book, Joan convinced Theda her home life was miserable (even though it wasn't) so Theda proposed adopting Joan. This is where Joan's parents drew the line. Joan came from a wealthy parents, a huge home, so there was no reason. </span><br /><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">Joan was also exposed to what I find most intriguing - the vamp side of Theda Bara. While Theda would say she was just a normal girl, she had an occult. We all know Theda Bara as the Vamp onscreen, and while she is an actress, I was fascinated to know that she was in fact, partially like that in real life. Juxtaposed between stories of garden parties and scripts, we hear about Theda's predilection for karma and the more magical sides of life. She read tarot cards, would use a Ouija board, and looked into her crystal ball. She had a skeleton in her home. The famous one in pictures. She believed in fate, yet explored the occult; believed in providence, yet actively made things happen to her liking. </span><br />

Joan is fairly clear that the Brabins were wrong for supporting it, but also insisted that the Brabins were just supporting their friend, Adolphe Menjou, who was actively pro-HUAC. There was so much euphemism, so it was difficult to figure out exactly how involved the Brabins really were in the movement. This was the only semi-bad memory of the Brabins that the author had. Joan was so close to the Brabins, I imagine she feels some obligation to protect and promote their legacy. She was just a child, so how much would she have been told? Would those around her have felt some obligation to protect her from what was viewed as a great and immediate threat? While Joan didn't seem to know exactly the Brabins involvement as a child, she feels horrible upon reflection as an adult. When you think about HUAC, the Brabins aren't the first people the come to mind - if at all. Aside from being good friends with Adolphe Menjou and Republican, I wasn't able to find any active participation by the Brabins other than attending events their friends held. I'm not sure we will ever know if they did more than that, because a</span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">side from Joan, who is left to speak to the issue? </span><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><br /></span>

Today it seems like every celebrity has a beauty line, from Drew Barrymore's <a href="http://flowerbeauty.com/" target="_blank">Flower Beauty</a> to what seems like the millionth Britney Spears or J.Lo perfume, celebrities have been in the beauty products game from the beginning. The footage of Constance using her products survives and is incredibly intriguing. Unfortunately it appears to be one of the sole surviving remnants. Bennett's beauty empire lasted approximately a decade - an amazing feat since she began her empire during the Great Depression. According to the author of <i>The Bennetts</i>, Constance was great at coming up with ideas, but terrible at implementation. </span></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

She also had compacts, blushes, lipsticks, etc. The surviving video of Constance's famous beauty routine was actually a promotional film for her cosmetics. That really explains why it seems so elaborate and so many products are used. When viewing it without that context, it could seem like a terribly spoiled and vain star putting tons of cosmetics on to try to gain that one ounce of beauty. But knowing that it was actually an advertisement for women to buy her beauty products clears things up tremendously. You would wish to advertise as many of your products as you can to customers.</span></div>

A modern beauty routine involves more cosmetics to cover up as opposed to Constance's routine, which primarily involved nurturing the skin. According to Constance, you must start out with a wonderfully healthy base of nourished skin. If I had the choice between the healthy multi-product skin routine and modern techniques of makeup, I would choose Constance Bennett's in a heartbeat. People do still use skin care products, including creams and astringents, like Constance's line, just not in the way Constance did. Who wouldn't love to put something so deliciously decadent sounding as Champagne Astringent on their face?</span></div>

<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"> Here's everything you ever wanted to know about Hollywood's new golden boy, in 1940 anyway, William Holden:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div>
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><a name='more'></a></span></div>

<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He was born in O'Fallon, Illinois</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He was four when his family moved to Pasadena, California so his father could move for his work in a chemical laboratory</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He has 2 brothers, 17 and 14</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He wanted to be a bacteriologist and was going to Pasadena Junior college for it. He's not upset to be a picture star now because "If you're really destined to be a scientist, nothing can shake you"</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">His first acting job was by chance. In 1938 at age 21 he was begged by his friend to fill in for the 8 line role as a 70-year-old man in 'Manya' and was immediately scouted by Paramount.</span></li>

<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">His eyes are blue; his complexion is bronze; his hair is curly and 'balks at regimentation".</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He doesn't think he's good-looking</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He doesn't use garters - he let's his socks do as they please</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He "has a flair for nice ties"</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He loves wearing a jacket, pair of slacks and sports shoes - not fancy duds. He is 'not a Beau Nash' (dandy from the 1700')</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">William Holden quote - "I refuse to be a jelly bean"</span></li>

<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span><ul>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He is shy and lowers his head a bit when he talks</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He is a great conversationalist and often ends up quizzing his interviewers</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He has a great sense of humor and he "can be a Puck"</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He is related to 2 presidents, George Washington and Warren G. Harding</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">When he was 8, he parked cars for patrons at the Pasadena Playhouse. He hated the profession for years after this job, but good for us, he changed his mind. </span></li>

<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">William Holden loves music. He played clarinet, piano, guitar and drums. He also sang baritone in the church choir.</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He collects Gregorian chants and sings them</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He loves solitude</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He doesn't like talking about himself because he things "no one's interested".</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He prefers candor and hates 'pussyfooting'</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">He loves reading</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">His favorite columnists are Walter Winchell, Bugs Baer and Boake Carter</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">His favorite actors are Paul Muni, Adolphe Menjou, Claude Rains and Bette Davis</span></li>
</ul>
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"> How does he feel about his new job? To quote Holden, "I'm in pictures for the duration of the public's interest. I love the work."</span><br /><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /><br />I'm glad he loved the job. He was fantastic in many films. My favorite William Holden role is of Joe Gillis in the iconic <i>Sunset Boulevard</i>. And who isn't slightly troubled by the fact that he was basically a valet at age 8? Why were they letting this kid park cars? No wonder he hated showbiz after this experience. It seems logical he was treated poorly in that job because he was a kid. I also had no idea he was so musical. When I think of William Holden's image, I don't think music. I suppose I should have guessed since he was in Picnic, but I think of him in harsher roles. I would love to have heard him sing Gregorian chants. Hearing who his favorite actors was interesting. And of course, he that he was related to 2 presidents. And of course, I was definitely surprised he wanted to be a scientist. Who knows what kind of diseases he could have cured? Who knew the simple act of filling in for a sick friend in a play would change William Holden's life forever? I can't help but feel bad for the person he replaced. They could have made it.</span><div>
