Since then, there have been biographies, documentaries and other works that have brought the silent film actress back into the spotlight, including a painstaking stills reconstruction of her lost epic \u003ci\u003eCleopatra\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   This is a complete examination of Bara''s more than 40 films, as well as her theater and radio appearances, down to the smallest detail. With the vast majority of Bara''s films considered lost, it is a particularly valuable resource for fans and scholars, and includes information about each film''s genesis, director, plot, censorship problems, and critical and public reactions. Also included is a biographical overview, with many illuminating anecdotes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheda Bara: The Life and Legend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Feature Films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Short Subjects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchival Appearances: Film and Television\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnstage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiscellany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix: Film Censorship in the Mid–1910s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040502317399,"sku":"9781476687254","price":27.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476687254.jpg?v=1750946946","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/theda-bara-9781476687254","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
