Maybe "forgotten" isn't quite accurate, but the actresses featured in this video are often not as well-remembered as some of their contemporaries, although some of them have been rediscovered in recent years. Due to the unavailability of many of their films, the women here often don't get the credit they deserve. I chose actresses that I was able to obtain films of, using an instrumental version of "Stella By Starlight". Enjoy!
