Here we have Michelle Pfeiffer adopting the Louise Brooks look from an unknown photoshoot.

Mairon Davies (perhaps more because of her relationship with Hearst than anything else) is the silent movie actress who has been most often portraited. Here we have two recent movie potrayals: Kirsten Dunst in The Cat's Meow and Melanie Griffith in RKO 281 - as usual Melanie looks like Melanie. I also have some images from Chaplin (Heather McNair) to add and I'm still looking to catch Gretchen Mol and Virginia Madsen's portrayals of Marion.

And finally, for the moment, we have Demi Moore looking like Clara Bow and Isabella Rossellini looking like Alla Nazimova: both with a lot of help from Kevyn Aucoin.
