This documentary highlights the careers and lives of some of the most famous actresses of early cinema. Some of the ladies featured in this video are Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, Carole Lombard, and Joan Crawford. These actresses from Hollywood's Golden Age were different in the types of films they were known for, from romantic comedy to high drama, but they were all the queens of the movie industry. You will watch some of their performances, listen to stories from historians and critics about their illustrious careers, and hear to the stars themselves in excerpts from interviews they did on television. There are rare photographs of the stars and outtakes from many of their movies. ~ Cecilia Cygnar, Rovi
