About this work
Description
Black and white film still of Evelyn Brent, an American actress, from an unidentified paramount film in which she starred. She is wearing a silver leaf headpiece, a mixture of jewelled and beaded bracelets, a sheer applique dress and holding a fur coat over her shoulder. It has been suggested that Brent may have been bisexual due to her close association with other suspected bisexual and lesbian women of the period including Nita Naldi, Alla Nazimova and Lilyan Tashman.
