This movie is now available from several vendors on DVD. ATTENTION IMDb.
Olive Thomas was, in the 1917-20 era, considered the most beautiful girl in Hollywoodland. She was certainly very good looking. She is said to have violet-blue eyes, the same a Liz Taylor. Men were utterly enthralled with her. She married the brother of Mary Pickford, who she certainly was prettier than. She had a very horrible and accidental, I feel sure, young death, but could have gone on to be a real giant in the industry. Her acting was good but may have been great in time.
The flick opens with her at school the product of a very strict father but a loving family. She is sent away to school for her own good. She uses a vacation to sew some wild oats and meets 2 crooks who were out to steal from her school. They try to plant the goods on her when she comes home but they're found out. After they were apprehended the story ended happily ever after.
Worth a view if you can ever see it (buy it that is). The life documentary that comes with it is ripe for TCM.
