I'll post one of these every once in a while, with a couple of simple links to IMDB.com or a bio if I can find one. You might be surpirsed at some of the familiar names you'll see. The category is "Star Cards" (over on the right column), and you can click there at any time to see all that I've posted. Hope you enjoy.

Tala Birell was born Natalie Bierl in Romania. She performed as movie double for Marlene Dietrich before coming to the US with the wave of European actresses imported by studios looking for the "next Greta Garbo". She made over 40 movies before fading into obscurity.
Looking over her filmography, I saw that she played in The Monster Maker. I just happen to have that movie but hadn't had a chance to see it yet, so I watched it last night. She was lovely (as expected) and gave a solid performance.
Forty movies, I'd call that a successful career.
