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.
Worth to mention is that Cleopatra (1963) holds the record for most costume changes in the history of the big screen, about 64 changes.
