Since when is Wikipedia a proper or even a reasonable citation? Please, please make some effort to look up the original source. Citations are on the Wikipedia site. If there isn’t one, don’t use the information. I love this website, but most of the information is useless or wrong. What a shame.
The great Gloria Swanson was originally one of Sennett’s gals. She’s probably in more than one photo, but if I remember the captions in her autobiography correctly, she’s definitely on the right in photo #2.
there so cute!
