Sirens of Silent Film

GENINT 721.772

Osher (50+). In this course, we view and discuss film clips of female silent-film stars.

About this course:

By the 1920s, female actors had made silent film the dominant form of entertainment in the United States. Charismatic stars such as fashion queen Gloria Swanson, irrepressibly sexy Clara Bow, exotic Anna May Wong, and rebellious Louise Brooks drew female audiences inspired by their self-confidence and drive. In this course, we view screen clips and explore how these four icons made lasting impacts on cinema.
