Garbo talked, Gilbert self-destructed and Chaplin refused - that's
about all many people know about silent film actors who faced the
transition into talking pictures. Yes, Greta Garbo's talkie debut
was successful, John Gilbert's was disastrous, and Charlie Chaplin
did not deign to make one for over a decade. But there were many
others - both stars and lesser lights - who also made the leap for
at least one talking film.From Renee Adoree to Loretta Young, over
500 actors and actresses who made at least three silent films and
had some starring or supporting roles in sound films are included
in this reference work. For each performer, the place of birth,
vital dates, nicknames if any, real name if different from stage
name, and a source for filmographic data are included. This
information is followed by capsule accounts of the performer's
silent and sound careers, along with contemporary reviews of
selected talkies in which they appeared.
