My Take
Colleen Moore is the kind of name modern audiences have forgotten but absolutely shouldn't have. The detail that grabs me is that she helped popularize the bobbed haircut, which means she didn't just appear in the 1920s, she helped define how the decade looked. Being one of the highest-paid stars of the silent era tells me she had real commercial pull, not just critical favor. What I respect most is that she made it through the brutal transition into sound film, a cliff that ended many careers. Add an autobiographer credit and a Walk of Fame star, and you get someone who shaped her era and then documented it herself.
