THEDA BARA (Wiki)
Theda Bara July 29, 1885 – April 13, 1955), born Theodosia Burr
Goodman, was an American
silent
film actress – one of the most popular of her era, and one of cinema's
earliest
sex symbols. Her
femme
fatale roles earned her the nickname "The Vamp" (short for
vampire). The
term "vamp"
soon became a popular
slang term for a sexually predatory woman. Bara,
Valeska Suratt, and
Musidora
popularized the vamp persona in the early years of silent film. In promoting the
1917 film "Cleopatra," Fox Studio publicists noted that the name was an anagram
of "Arab death," and her press agents claimed inaccurately that she was "the
daughter of an Arab sheik and a French woman, born in the Sahara."[
