Luscious Lost (born 1883-1900)

When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better! Mae West

From the Lost generation came the first wave of starlets of the silver screen, in the era of silent movies. We'll always remember them in black and white, with rouged lips, tousled or bobbed hair, and a sultry gaze. This generation gave us the first sex symbols, exploitation flicks, and controversial on-screen nudity and debauchery that prompted the introduction in 1927 of the movie-censoring Hays code.
