Barbara Kent, who has passed away at the age of 103, was probably the last living star of a major American silent film.
Though she played bigger and higher profile roles, such as her part alongside Harold Lloyd in 'Welcome Danger' (1928) and her star turn in the Coney Island comedy-drama 'Lonesome' (1928), perhaps her best known role is as the wonderfully feisty younger sister of Lars Hanson in 'Flesh and the Devil' (1926). Painfully in love with John Gilbert's character, she is completely oblivious to his own infatuation with Felicitas (Greta Garbo).
Barbara more than holds her own against stars of this magnitude.
