My favorite mural is looking extra sharp after a recent repainting, so I thought I’d use it to wish a happy birthday to my favorite silent film actor and birthday mate, John Gilbert!

Happy Birthday, Greta Garbo!
Greta Garbo was born on 18 September 1905. Here she is in a publicity photo from Anna Christie (1930).

Lovely Lillian
I dig this image of Lillian Gish, and I thought you might enjoy it, too.

Happy Birthday, Buster!
Buster Keaton, one of my favourite creative geniuses, was born on 4 October 1895. I made a little slideshow in honor of his 120th birthday. Enjoy!
