EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures Theda Bara, an American actress known for her intense and seductive on-screen presence, on a less glamorous note. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on November 11, 1916, the image shows Bara in a pensive and unhappy mood, with her hands on her head and a bad temper or possible migraine evident in her furrowed brow and intense stare. The photograph, a glass negative, offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the silent film star, who was a major figure in the early film industry and a trailblazer for the portrayal of strong and sexualized female characters. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, is a poignant reminder of the human side of an iconic figure, and a testament to the power of photography to capture the complexities of the human experience.
