Billie Dove

Douglas Fairbanks created a new breed of onscreen hero in this 1926 silent film classic about a man infiltrating a pirate ship for personal revenge.

Two girls, friends from the New York slums, take very different paths in their quest for fame and fortune in Blondie of the Follies. Ziegfeld Follies chorines Blondie (Marion Davies) and Lottie (Billie Dove) both fall in love with wealthy playboy Larry Belmont (Robert Montgomery). While Blondie retains her virtue and works diligently to advance her career, Lottie uses other charms to woo Belmont and to move up in show business. But when Blondie seems to be succeeding both on stage and in love, Lottie resorts to underhanded tricks during a performance to thwart her.
