Film History...

Silent film actress Gertrude Olmstead Leonard was a busy, in demand star having over 60 film credits to her name during her film career in the 1920's. Gertrude lived here at the Gaylord during this time, with her husband, multi-Oscar nominated director Robert Z. Leonard. Here, she is pictured from our August 1926 issue of the 'Gaylord Glimpses.' In 1925, she starred with the magnificent character actor Lon Chaney in 'The Monster.' In 1926, Gertrude starred alongside film icon Greta Garbo in 'Torrent' and had top billing over the Joan Crawford in 'The Boob,' also from 1926. These are just a couple of her stand-out performances.

The Gaylord was the address to live in, at the time and we still continue that spirit today.

Keaton... Buster That Is...

In the 1920's, comedic film genius, Buster Keaton was a frequent visitor to the Gaylord. His sister-in -law, Constance Talmadge, top selling rom-com actress at the time, resided here.

This Saturday, August 26th, at 7:30pm, the American Cinematheque will show 3 of Buster's shorts at the Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. Tickets are $12. Go and enjoy this master of comedy and his delightful work.

Singles in the House...

From our August 1927 issue of the 'Gaylord Glimpses,' here we have famous motion picture actress & Gaylord resident, Miss Dorothy Mackaill. Dorothy starred with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. in 1928's 'The Barker' and opposite Humphrey Bogart in 1932's 'Love Affair.' Dorothy had quite the film career and was also married to film director, Lothar Mendes, for a short period.
