In this episode, Mildred talks about the life of the silent film star, Theda Bara. She is often hailed as Hollywood's first Vamp, and was only in films for 5 years before burning out of the industry. In an unusual twist for us, this episode has very little sadness, but we wanted to discuss her, as she is a goth icon, and often played roles of strong women who are in control of their own agency.
