Discuti Bebe Daniels

Whenever I watch one of Harold Lloyd's silent shorts, it's not him, but Bebe Daniels who I wanted to see. She must have appeared in almost 150 shorts with him.

She was already a star at nine years old in the silent short film " The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1910)".

I loved her singing in musicals like "Rio Rita (1929)", "Dixiana (1930)", " Reaching for the Moon (1930)", "Love Comes Along (1930)" and "42nd Street (1933)".

So, whenever you're in for some entertainment, then Bebe is just the right girl to spend a long weekend with, laughing, singing and doing the 'mean low-down'.

I've seen Bebe Daniels in at least a handful of movies (I think only two of the Harold Lloyd Silents, since I've not watched many of his shorts), so unfortunately am only minimally familiar with her performances. I definitely liked and enjoyed her in her movies I've seen.

The ones I specifically remember are 1931's The Maltese Falcon and 1933's 42nd Street. I saw Miss Daniels in a couple Lloyd shorts within the last couple of years, though have no recollection of what the titles are. Meanwhile, it's been I think probably more than ten years since I saw 1910's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz; at this point I only barely remember it.

Yes, Bebe's wonderful every time.

Many of her pictures have interesting stories unto themselves.

Dixiana (1930) as Dixiana Caldwell - At Radio Pictures, this becomes one of the very first feature films to contain a two-color reel for its big parade finale.

Reaching for the Moon (1930) as Vivien Benton - This marks Irving Berlin's venture into Hollywood films, and it almost marks his exit from it because most of the song performances were deleted from the director's cut.

It was said that if you ever wanted to anger Irving, then mention these four words: "Reaching for the Moon." Fortunately, though, he was convinced to stick around for a while, and came up with all of the tunes for "Top Hat," "Follow the Fleet," "Alexander's Ragtime Band," "Holiday Inn," "This Is the Army," and many more.

42nd Street (Warner Bros., 1933) as Dorothy Brock and Music Is Magic (20th C. Fox, 1935) as Diane De Valle - These are said to mirror Bebe's own career, as Moguls like Zanuck began tossing aside the tried and the true talents for novice faces, who would soon also be sent to pasture for the latest novice face who happens by.

Bebe co-stars with many greats, such as Harold Lloyd, while real-life husband, Ben Lyon, co-stars with legends as Claudette and Harlow. In 1935, they relocate to London, to star on stage, on radio and on British television for the duration of their careers, until Bebe's retirement for health reasons, in 1963.

"The couple remained in England through the days of The Blitz of WWII.
Following the war, Miss Daniels was awarded the Medal of Freedom by Harry S Truman for war service."

In 1971, Bebe passes at age 70, eight days after her co-star Harold Lloyd.
