This beautiful vintage postcard came to me via a group of wonderful old photos found at a Flea Market a while ago. I didn't know who Florence La Badie was until I found quite a bit of information online.
Florence M.L. La Badie (April 27, 1888 – October 13, 1917) was an American actress in the early days of Hollywood, during the silent film era. Though little known today, she was a major star between 1911 and 1917, her career was at its height and climbing when she died unexpectedly due to injuries sustained during an automobile accident.

She's beautiful - what a great card!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this...such a sad story, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, she was so beautiful! What a tragedy! Her photo is quite a find. Every time I look at those vintage photographs, I try to imagine what the person was thinking. I have used them in creative writing classes as writing "prompts." Students would create a short story or poem with the pic as the subject. Lots of inspiration in the vintage!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day, Coralie. Thanks so much for visiting and commenting.
