Known as "The Girl with the Most Beautiful Face in Hollywood," Anita
Page’s career was over after only a decade, even though, at one point,
she had attained a degree of popularity at MGM second only to studio
queen Greta Garbo. A natural blonde with blue eyes, Page’s luminous
screen presence made her fascinating to watch even in minor fare.
Arriving on the scene when studios were making the switch from silent
features to talkies, she was often cast as loose or otherwise amoral
women. Page first found fame opposite an equally new and fresh-faced
Joan Crawford in "Our Dancing Daughters" (1928) and reached her peak of
notoriety following the release of MGM’s early musical hit "The Broadway
Melody" (1929). She co-starred with several prominent MGM leading men,
including Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Ramon Novarro, William Haines and
Robert Montgomery, and graced a pair of Buster Keaton’s sound features.
Most of Page’s films were competent efforts that years later were of
interest only to film buffs, but a few stood the test of time, including
the splendid Lon Chaney crime drama "While the City Sleeps" (1928) and
the pre-Hays Code classics "Night Court" (1932) and "Skyscraper Souls"
(1932). Almost completely forgotten decades later, Page had one of the
most unusual career arcs imaginable, going from regular employment at
Hollywood’s premiere studio during the Golden Age of movies to small
parts in grubby, shot-on-video horror movies seven decades later.
