Barbara La Marr was a famous film actress who worked in 27 films in just six years. She started her career as a dancer in New York City. After that, she moved to Los Angeles with her husband and became a screenplay writer for Fox Film. Her screen debut was in “Harriet and the Piper” (1920). She had a small role in “The Nut (1921)” and “The Three Musketeers” (1921), after that she quickly graduated to starring roles in “Arabian Love,” “Domestic Relations,” “Trifling Woman,” and “The Prisoner of Zenda,” all released in 1922. Barbara was arrested for dancing in a burlesque show when she was 14, and the judge who was hearing her case gave remarks which lead to her eventual screen nickname. The judge said she was “too beautiful to be alone in a big city, alone and unprotected.” She earned the title “The Girl Who Is Too Beautiful.” Barbara La Marr was officially married four times, although some sources claim that the actual number is five. La Marr partied long hours and got very little sleep during the peak of her career. In addition to drinking, drugs, and lack of sleep, La Marr went on several extreme crash diets to lose weight during the last two years of her life.
