That hurt her career but she kept dancing into her 60's. In WW2 she volunteered as an ambulance driver and draughtswoman at a plane factory. She died in 1956 aged 83. She had made only one adventure film in 1915 which does not survive although she is in some newsreel footage.

Her real life was actually even more scandalous with her older brother being a murder and having multiple affairs with both sexes, accused of being a German spy which resulted in a libel trail which she lost even after the Judge sided with her because the press & jury hated her..

Silent Sundays Happy 152nd Birthday to Maude Allan. A Canadian dancer/actress who would be a major influence on Vamps like Theda Bara wit the role of "Salome" onstage in 1908 which scandalized London..

I know that having these Convoy idiots comparing a bunch of disease riddled birds to war veterans seems offensive but if conservatives want to take a notoriously stupid, cantankerous, virus infested bird that hides it's head in the sand as their new symbol I'm cool with that.

"Legal options"? It's a speech in public domain you ignorant chucklefucks. Nobody needs your permission. I could turn it into an obnoxious early 80's industrial noise remix and you couldn't say shit about it.
Say that gives me an idea.
