Theda Bara

"To be good is to be forgotten. I'm going to be so bad I'll always be remembered."

"The reason good women like me and flock to my pictures is that there is a little bit of vampire instinct in every woman."

"I will continue doing vampires as long as people sin."

"After Theda Barra appeared in A Fool There Was, a vampire wave surged over the country. Women appeared in vampire gowns, pendant earrings, and even young girls were attempting to change from frank, open-eyed ingenues to the almond-eyed, carmine-lipped woman of subtlety and mystery."
