| Olive Thomas Collection - The Flapper/Olive Thomas: Everybody's Sweetheart DVD (1920)
 $22.69
Tragically, her career met an early end when Thomas died under mysterious circumstances in Paris just before her 26th birthday, leaving her mark on cinematic history half-formed. Stories featuring the early 20th Century ingénue Olive Thomas abound, some adoring and others outraged, but the fact remains that she took Hollywood by storm with her unparalleled beauty, her fearless tongue, and her guileless charm. Olive's enigmatic life is detailed in the fascinating documentary OLIVE THOMAS: EVERYBODY'S SWEETHEART, narrated by Rosanna Arquette and featuring interviews with director Allison Anders (GAS FOOD LODGING), Richard Ziegfeld, and Daniel Selznick. But underneath the glitter of her life lay a dark underbelly, as she developed a reputation as a loose woman who was single-minded in her pursuit of a life of pleasure; in escaping that Pittsburgh mining town, she was determined to live the fantasy of the Hollywood starlet. Born into a poor Pennsylvania family in a small town, Olive abandoned an early marriage for the glamour of New York, and soon found her way into the Ziegfeld Follies, becoming a favorite among illustrators.
