Theda Bara (July 29, 1885 - April 13, 1955), born Theodosia Burr Goodman, was an American silent film actress. Bara was one of the most popular screen actresses of her era, and was one of cinema's earliest sex symbols. Her femme fatale roles earned her the nickname "The Vamp" (short for vampire).

- Very nice lens. I enjoy history of all sorts and this lens caught my attention. My dad was born in 1900 and these are things that he actually saw and lived through.

- If I remember correctly, 19the century was a great beginning for the computers, typewriters being predominant and the economy doing good to the common man. I was not born at that time but I can contemplate the essence of nineteenth century from your lens.
