Colleen
Moore
1902-1988
Silent
Film
Colleen Moore had a very successful film
career in the Silent era.
In the early years of film history, there were other actresses
of Irish descent such as Sally O'Neill, Mary Pickford, Mabel
Normand, Delores Costello, Janet Gaynor, Molly O'Day, Mae Murray
and many more. Colleen made her success as a "flapper",
but this title does not cover her varied career. She made numerous
films with Irish stories such as Dinty, Irene, Sally and
Smiling Irish Eyes. She had success in playing a dramatic
role in So Big. Colleen Moore was the number one box
office star for the years 1926 and 1927. She made several "talkie"
films before retiring.
