Bessie Love

Bessie Love is a living thread through the entire arc of early cinema. Born in Midland, Texas in 1898, she appeared in Griffith's Intolerance, The Lost World, and the landmark talkie The Broadway Melody, then kept working all the way to Reds in 1981. What moves me is her survival across the seismic shift from silent film to sound, a transition that ended so many careers. At just 152 cm she brought an outsized vitality to her wholesome ingenue roles. Her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame feels less like an honor and more like a simple statement of fact.
