Theda Bara: The Original Vamp
Sun: Leo
Ascendant: Taurus
Moon: Pisces

Today sees the Birthday of two of the biggest sex symbols of the Silent Film era: Theda Bara, The Original Vamp, and Clara Bow, The First “It” Girl and quintessential flapper. Leos are known for their sexy personas, but once in a couple they can be quite traditional and monogamous. Leos also don’t really care for jealousy games, and if you want to get rid of a Leo in hurry, try playing the envy card.

Two of Hollywood’s most famous unsolved-murder victims were also born today. Thelma Todd, a rising starlet, was murdered inexplicably and remains a symbol of 30s glamour. The Black Dahlia was another case that still has a strong hold on the LA collective memory. Los Angeles is a Leo city, btw.
