Here we have various contemporary actresses portraying movie stars from the 1920s and earlier in movies, TV shows or mini-series, or publicity photoshoots.
Alla Nazimova: Alla Nazimova (1879—1945) was an American theatre and film actress, scriptwriter, and producer: she made her Broadway debut in 1906 and left the movie business in the mid-1920s. Here she is portrayed by Isabella Rossellini in a photoshoot – with a lot of help from the late Kevyn Aucoin. If anyone has any images of Laura [Elena] Harring as Nazimova from Return To Babylon, a movie which appears to have sunk without trace, please email me.
