► Fabulous Portraits of Classic Hollywood Beauties From 1910s & 1920s Silent Film Era by Albert Witzel, brought to life using AI technology.
► Hello everyone and welcome to History Scoop channel.
Albert Witzel (25 Jun 1879 - 31 May 1929) was an American photographer who founded Witzel Studios in 1909 and quickly established himself as one of Los Angeles' most prestigious portrait studios. Distinguished by moody lighting and dramatic poses and settings, Witzel’s photos soon set the tone for Hollywood studio photography and from the mid-1910s they featured frequently in fan magazines like Photoplay, becoming an important promotional and publicity tool. He photographed many celebrities including Lillian Gish, Clara Bow, Melva Cornell, Bessie Love, Doris May, as well as occasionally working for the big picture studios, photographing many silent film megastars such as Theda Bara and Charlie Chaplin. Unfortunately, Albert died at the young age of 49 after a long illness, and Witzel Studios closed down soon after.

Please check out the video for a few fabulous portraits of classic Hollywood actresses from the silent film era in 1910s and 1920s.

I hope you enjoy the video!

  • If I didn't know from this video, I would've thought Melva Cornell was a star from the 1960's or 70's based on her picture. Very contemporary & modern (& drop dead gorgeous!)
  • @MrEjidorie
    Beautiful women transcend times, and their beauty will be preserved in films forever.
  • @auntesther1211
    Melva Cornell is absolutely gorgeous, I don’t remember ever hearing of her
  • @josephharnett5075
    Thats one of my favorite pictures of Bessie Love wish she would have never cut her hair but at the time all the stars were doing including Mary Pickford 😊
  • Trivia note: Witzel studio in downtown LA was the place where silent star Harold Lloyd was nearly killed while posing for publicity photos. Someone handed him what he thought was a prop bomb for a posed shot, and he lit the fuse and as it burned down he lowered it from his face level when it exploded. He lost his right thumb, index finger and the palm of his right hand, facial scars and temporary blindness. He wore two prosthetic fingers inside a tight flesh colored glove for the rest of his on screen career. Specks of bomb debris were in his eye for life.
  • Brilliant but also heart breaking some of those stories. Especially the last one about Alma Rubens broke me, that story is not much different than today, 33 wow so young. What a beautiful young women then to have her life cut so short at 33, this is killing me.
  • @greasylimpet3323
    Thanks for your effort in making this video; it's great to see the animation as well as the photos. Bessie Love was a stunningly beautiful woman, gorgeous at every age.
  • @nicolen.9642
    Really beautiful and interesting. Thanks History Scoop 👍

    I love silent movies. Give me a Buster Keaton silent film or short any day! I wish more people would give them a chance. I feel people have neither the patience nor attention span for silent films these days. Oh, how much they miss! From Lon Cheney’s dramatic performances, to Keaton’s unbelievable agility and physical comedy, or Chaplin’s sincerity, to Bow’s enthusiasm, and Lloyd’s charm. Too bad for them, I guess.
  • @jeffreyk5734
    This is astonishing work! Thank you so much for all your efforts. We aren't that far away from recreating lost films or restoring lost sequences based on the original shooting scripts. As this goes well beyond just the standard production still and title card reconstruction.
  • @clarino2
    They’re all quite beautiful, with or without the AI. But I’d really like to see them smile.
  • @markfortin421
    You've done it again...bringing to us women who possessed the talent of conveying their character's story line with facial features and body language, a much harder job than speaking a few words. And to bring them back to life is so beautiful, so we can see what we missed 100 years ago. Thank You, from us and them.....

    Dame Mae Fishman, a rising star in the silent film era, was a force to be reckoned with. Born at the turn of the 20th century, she was one of the earliest female figures to dominate the silver screen.
  • @WadeRaney-vv5oi
    This is 👍,💘 Bessie most of all,Melva is lovely as well😀
  • @Anna-zg8tu
    As a lover of old movies, I really enjoyed this!
