The Lost Film Legacy of
THEDA BARA
Her Lost Films
The list of film titles you see at the right are all films starring Theda Bara, the original 'vamp,' in order of theatrical release. Only a few are thought to survive: A Fool There Was, East Lynne, and The Unchastened Woman.  Her greatest successes, namely Cleopatra, Salome, and perhaps Kathleen Mavourneen, seem to be gone forever.

Each film, as information is unearthed, will have its own individual page which includes information about the film, including stills and plot details. Visitors of this website who have rare knowledge of the films or star are encouraged to contribute information, which will be included here as time goes by.  Eventually, more of Theda's films may be found.

The list you see at the right is both intriguing and frustrating.  Very few of the films can be viewed today, but we should not give up.  Perhaps one day Theda Bara's film legacy will be restored!
