Arnold 1 Posted April 19, 2008 The fact that she hasn't been in the news for nigh on 70 years shoud not deter us from including this lady. She will undoubtedly receive several broadsheet obits when she goes, making her a very elligible Death List candidate. She is one of the very last silent screen stars and starred opposite Greta Garbo, John Gilbert, Richard Barthelmess, Harold Lloyd, Edward G Robinson, Gloria Swanson and Myrna Loy - all A list movie stars. Even if younger members of this board are a little baffled by some of these names, a little research will show you how each one was as big in his or her day as, say, Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt or George Clooney is now. In these movies, she receives second or third billing. She is a true forgotten star. So watch the obits flow when she passes over. And she's 101. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,187 Posted May 3, 2008 She is one of the very last silent screen stars. In these movies, she receives second or third billing. She is a true forgotten star. So watch the obits flow when she passes over. I suspect she will get some US obits, but she doesn't appear in Halliwell's Who's Who of the Movies (and it includes bucketloads of silent film stars) which makes me question her possible obit status worldwide.

Arnold 1 Posted December 4, 2009 Shes 102 years old going on 103 could be a good bet for next year! Please, I beg you please, stop posting the names of random elderly people, try to look some things up on the internet and you will find out that deadpooling has so many dimensions, what makes it a lot more intresting than a random guessing game. Thank you in advance. No, no, no. I like the randomness of it all. For that is the essential part of the very nature of death, surely. Miss Kent is 103 this month. I have a very strong feeling in my waters that she will take her final curtain call next year and urge the committee to give her very serious consideration for inclusion in the 2010 list.

Arnold 1 Posted October 26, 2011 She may have retired 75 years ago (!) but here is the grand obit I anticipated due to her status as the last of the silent queens. Take a look at her portrait picture to see if she really was "A very attractive lady in her prime". http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries...rbara-Kent.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
