“You say I have the most wicked face of any woman. You say my hair is like the serpent locks of Medusa, that my eyes have the cruel cunning of Borgia, that my mouth is the mouth of the sinister scheming Delilah, that my hands are like the talons of a Circe or the blood-bathing Elizabeth Bathory. And then you ask me of my soul—you wish to know if it is reflected in my face.”
– Theda Bara

Beautiful Theda Bara in the play The Blue Flame (1920) her only Broadway role.
She played Ruth Gordon, a religious woman who dies and then is revived by a sicentist as a terrible vamp, whose only purpose is to destroy men. Typical Bara material.
Her contract with Fox had ended in 1919 and she would appear in only 3 more movies, one of them a short film. She never returned to the stage either.
