Beautiful and formidable actress Gloria Swanson was born 125 years ago today, on 27-March-1899. I read her autobiography soon after it was published in 1981. She started at Essanay, making one film with Charlie Chaplin, moved on to work for Mack Sennett at Keystone, went on to Triangle, had a big breakthrough with Cecil B DeMille at Famous Players-Lasky, starred in a series of Paramount features during the 1920s, and wrapped up the silent era making Queen Kelly with Erich von Stroheim. She didn't make many movies during the sound era, but Sunset Boulevard, which reunited her with DeMille and Stroheim, was one of the best of all time. I remember when she appeared on a few television shows.
