    Very sad ending for this special lady. She went through a lot during her short life. I hope she will always be remembered for her damsel in distress acting career. Thanks Jordan

    William Desmond Taylor's murder was solved but not by the police. I highly recommend the book "Tinsel Town" by William J. Mann, published in 2015, if you'd like to know what happened. I really enjoy your channel -- so nice to visit the southland without getting on a plane. I was born in Hollywood in the 1940s, raised in Burbank, and left for northern California in 1970. Keep up the great work!

    Glad to see you told her story Jordan. I really feel the sorrow in the details you shared of her life. I was familiar with her and had always thought they should of done a documentary or film inspired by those events. Maybe even shoot it in black and white and get a really good writer? This was a period of Hollywood that is almost faded from existence and needs to be preserved and shared.

    Marisa Tomei played Mabel and Dan Ackroyd was Mack Sennett in the movie “Chaplin, “ a great film that I rewatch every couple of years.

    Hi Jordan, what a sad end for Mabel, like quite a few stars of that era. Those early Hollywood studio photos are so beautiful. Hard to believe that Mabel has been dead not that far off 100 years. Well, at least she worked with some big stars of that era. I remember your other vlog regarding William Desmond Taylor. Great vlog Jordan.

    Thank you Jordan for choosing a woman who sadly is often overlooked and forgotten today. A fascinating story and yes I agree she never recovered from a traumatic experience in love. I am glad she is in a nice mausoleum and hopefully she has found peace that eluded her in her short life. ☺️😊🥰❤️☀️🌴🦩

    The majority of books that I have come across covering the history of Hollywood normally include a passing reference or studio photograph of Mabel Normand and little else, however your previous vlogs introduced me to her fascinating biography and today's video was a beautiful tribute. Many thanks Jordan for all your amazing work.

    I love knowing all the History of the silent/golden age of movies. Very interesting, the people who she was connected to are just the brightest names in Hollywood! Thank you for sharing all the knowledge, next trek to the library going to read more on her, and watch her movies. Another great vlog, Ty!! The Old Hollywood stars are so much more interesting to me.

    Love the old Hollywood stuff, Jordan. Hard to fathom how quickly they made movies in those days. It's great to have the history vlogged as locations and important places disappear.

  • @DMfilmfan
    @DMfilmfan Před rokem +8

    Great video as always! 8:17 how creepy and ironic that a siren can be heard at Mabel's grave while talking about the police interrogating Mabel? Courtland Dines didn't die from the gunshot wound(s). Anyone interested in finding out more about Mabel ... read "Keystone" by Simon Louvish and (a chapter on Mabel in) "Silent Stars" by Jeanine Basinger. John Hodiak was married to Anne Baxter, he was another star who died way too young. He was Judy Garland's love interest in "The Harvey Girls."

  • @ccastaneda669
    @ccastaneda669 Před rokem +5

    Jordan, you did an amazing job in telling the story of Mable Normand. Her life was one of those that if it didn't actually happen, nobody would believe it. From your research and explaining it to your viewers, it's obvious that this woman was filled with bad decisions and a lot of drama that she brought on herself. I personally do not like speaking ill of the dead as it is disrespectful. But from what you explained, if she had a little bit of self-control, discipline, and more self respect. A lot of what happened to her when it happened would not have happened. Thank you for bringing this sad story to the viewers. I personally never heard of her until this story. She made her mark for herself and for Hollywood and deserves all the appropriate respect. She was a trailblazer for women in a time that was extremely difficult.

  • @debbiem9218
    @debbiem9218 Před rokem +3

    Alot of people under the age of 50 never heard of or watched movies of
    Mabel Norman.
    But your docs awaken a curiosity to explore for more history and a love develops for the old movies, and once it takes hold, you discover how beautiful the early movie stars were.
    Thank You for leading us to a wonderful experience.

    Daze, could while your out there in Hollywood, could you please do a story on Mario Lanza, the man who began Rock n Roll, even though he sang opera for MGM and then went solo, with other adventures up to his death at 38 yrs of age. And his lovely wife Betty, who couldn't live without him and wound up killing herself with a accidental overdose? Leaving behind 4 children and where are they now? Thank you Daze, Mabel and so many other's done wrong in Hollywood!

  • @TheMocao
    @TheMocao Před rokem +3

    This was a fascinating vlog. It was another respectful cemetery vlog. Every time I hear about some poor woman who was strung along by a man she loved, I think of the line from that Mae West movie “She Done Him Wrong.””….some guy done her wrong. The story’s so old it should have been put to music long ago.” I’ve only watched two silent films, so I’m not familiar with Mabel Norman’s work. Ironically, I am familiar with Lee Cody - having seen a couple of his later films.

    These woman paved they way not only for women in cinema but for woman in general in the workforce from top execs to secretaries. Yeah they had secretaries in those days but if in that era they had computers ect they would have to prove themselves they can use it and prove themselves they can handle the work load ect. Im not a feminist by ANY MEANS im just trying to say these early ladies helped pave the way for modern ladies :)
