I'd love to see a complete version of Orson Welles's Don Quixote after reading what Rosenbaum said about it in his review of Man of La Mancha:

Now if they can just find those 4 episodes of The Secret Storm from 1968 w/ a 63 yo Joan Crawford playing the role of a 28 yr old

a brief but incredible fragment of the 1917 Cleopatra has been found and restored by a collector.

whoa! that's really cool.

TIL: theodosia burr goodman aka theda bara was named after (notorious scamp vice president and hamilton-shooter) aaron burr's daughter theodosia burr

Also an interesting line of inquiry would be Hollywood actresses of that era putting assuming exotic Eastern European (?) identities.

well her dad actually was from poland (and her mum from switzerland) but the studios favoured a tale that she was from egypt
