  Barbara La Marr
Barbara La Marr, known as "The Girl Who Was Too Beautiful," was one of the first big stars of Hollywood, and one of its first victims.
La Marr's parents moved to a small town in California when she was a teenager, but she quickly left home to explore the opportunities available to an attractive girl in the big city of Los Angeles.
Though La Marr is perhaps not as well-remembered as some of her silent screen contemporaries, like Mary Pickford, Clara Bow, Mabel Normand, Themla Todd or Gloria Swanson, she is certainly not forgotten.
