VAMPVALESKA SURATT, 1910s

After the great success of Theda Bara, other vamps were signed at the studios, ensuing the vamp craze.Suratt, who appeared in “only” 11 films (all of them lost) was some sort of early clotheshorse, wearing ultra-elaborate costumes and jewerly. She was known as the Empress of Fashion, so much so, that in one of her films, she allegedly wore more than 150 costumes, to an enormous expense.
