Asides - M and M

Katy Mayıs 09, 2022

This is of course a blog featuring images of actresses from the twenties and thirties. But I guess a post featuring actors of the era won't cause the earth to shift on its axis. However, I still want to keep the theme focused on "Allure". So, what the heck was it at the time that had so many actors sporting those pencil thin mustaches; I have to presume they or the female movie going audience found they presented a certain allure, or nobody had the nerve to tell them any differently.

The images in this post all come from the 1930 Stars of the Photoplay hardcover book published by Photoplay magazine. The cost of the book, which has individual portraits of 250 stars, sold for $1.25! Under each portrait is a brief bio, at least up to 1930, so double-click on the images for a larger size. Enjoy.
