Who are your favorite silent film stars?
My very favorite is Louise Brooks.
Her films are fantastic.DIARY OF A LOST GIRL (1929) and PANDORA'S BOX (1929) are works of art! And I have read about her, she has led an amazing life.
It used to be Lon Chaney, or maybe Harold Llyod...I dunno...it is most certainly Louise Brooks right now!

BUSTER KEATON
I'll second Buster Keaton, tho I'd also like to throw a bone to Oliver Hardy, Larry Simon, Lon Chaney, & Charlie Chaplin.
Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton
I enjoy Keaton- but Chaplin is lost on me...

That's too bad. I like
CHARLIE CHAPLIN films, particularly
THE KID and
THE GOLD RUSH.
John Barrymore and Zazu Pitts
