EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the intense gaze of Theda Bara, an American actress who rose to fame in the silent film era. The image, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on November 11, 1916, showcases Bara in her prime, exuding a magnetic allure that made her a sensation in the film industry. With her long, flowing locks framing her striking features, Bara's hairstyle was as iconic as her on-screen persona. This portrait, a testament to the art of cinematography and the concept of still images in the era of moving pictures, is a valuable addition to the heritage of American entertainment. The image, preserved in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the intensity of a single stare could captivate audiences and leave a lasting impact. This portrait of Theda Bara, with her young, vibrant energy and captivating presence, continues to intrigue and inspire, making it a timeless piece of art and a significant contribution to the history of American cinema.
