Gossip columnist
Jimmy Fidler shows brief glimpses of over 60 actors and actresses, all of whom started in silent films. Some were stars in silents whose career faded with the advent of sound (e.g.,
Harrison Ford and
Alla Nazimova; others were lesser players who made it big in sound films (e.g. 'Ronald Colman' and
William Boyd). Fidler also looks at stars of that era who have passed away (e.g.,
Mabel Normand,
Will Rogers,
Lon Chaney, and 'Jean Harlow').
