A Squidoo lens...

Even Silent Era movie buffs may find it difficult to be familiar with the movies of this lovely Hollywood star. These days her movies are difficult to find, if not impossible. Yet, in the early 1900's, Annette Kellerman was a huge star.

She was the leading star in 1916 extravaganza, "A Daughter of the Gods". That movie was the first in Hollywood to cost over $1,000,000.00 to film. Unfortunately, there are no known copies remaining of "A Daughter of the Gods". So the world's first million-dollar movie has faded from memory.

This lens is dedicated to sharing a little of Annette Kellerman's long life.
