Lupe Vélez (Cuban Love Song, The Girl from Mexico, Naná)—iconic Mexican glamor, known for her dramatic romances and hot temper. she could do unspeakable things <3 to me <3
Greta Garbo (Camille, Anna Karenina, Queen Christina)—Enigmatic and alluring and made me bisexual. The perfect example of the eroticism in silent films that literally transcends text. Could literally not change anything about her expression but you knew by looking at her eyes what she was thinking. She’s so gorgeous.
This is round 4 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Lupe Vélez:
(joint propaganda for del Río and Vélez) When I asked my 58-year-old coworker who I have been keeping updated on the vintage men tournament if there was anyone she wanted me to submit on her behalf, almost immediately she said Dolores del Río, soon followed by her assigned rival by studios (due to being the first major Mexican actresses in Hollywood) Lupe Vélez - which del Río did not play into and Vélez did. We love queens who know what they're about. No drama vs drama for the sake of publicity. These ladies are fantastic, my coworker has excellent taste.
A beautiful girl with a beautiful singing voice. She also loved small dogs.
Garbo:
A cold-ass Swedish WLW Sphinx. Had plans to murder Hitler that she never got around to. "She will remain always a child of vikings, moved about by a snowy dream."
First of all, she's on the money; that's how much of a treasure she is. She's beautiful in such a distinct way you need very few lines to draw her. (Drawing by Einar Nerman) She managed to be mesmerizing in both silent and sound films. She kissed a woman in Queen Christina (and probably several more in real life). She was super dry and really funny in Ninotchka. She got the hell out of Hollywood and stayed out, living for almost 50 years after her retirement.
Garbo is one of the many reasons why I'm gay. If you haven't seen Queen Christina please do, She is so gender in that film. Also her accent makes it sound like she's always talking in cursive and it's so hypnotic (or at least I think so).
She's a gay introvert, like all of us here on Tumblr.
Probabaly a lesbian, absolutely a mood when she retired
Mysterious and aloof, charismatic and enigmatic, with beautiful androgynous characteristics, Garbo is undoubtedly the most eccentric and unique Hollywood vintage star. Her aversion to fame and stardom makes her even more desirable to the audience, and her insane chemistry with the camera, an actress one of a kind! Her particularity and her oddity is what discerns her strongly from her hollywood co workers at the time, noone was like her and would never be like her. I think, to the utmost extent, that she deserves the title of the hottest vintage star, even though that would be an understatement of what she is!
SO gorgeous, her thick Swedish accent makes will turn your brain into pudding

This sparkling necklace is interesting because unlike many jewelry pieces in Hollywood that are attributed to Eugene Joseff (Joseff of Hollywood), Paramount was the only studio to have their own jewelry department. Because all of the films in question are attributed to Paramount studios, while it’s possible this is a Joseff of Hollywood piece, it likely came from the studio’s own jewelry collection.
The necklace was first seen in a 1941 publicity shot of Lupe Vélez. Lupe worked at several studios, including RKO and Columbia, but in 1941 she only made one film for Universal – Six Lessons from Madame La Zonga. This publicity photo of Vélez in the necklace was likely taken around the time of that filming.
The piece went on to be worn several more times, including on scream queen Evelyn Ankers as Isabel Lewis in the 1943 film The Mad Ghoul, followed by Helen Broderick as Glory Marlow Sr. in 1944’s Chip Off the Old Block, as well as Martha O’Driscoll as Katie Wells the following year in Under Western Skies.
The piece appeared two more times in the 1940s in publicity photos of actress Maria Montez, though it is unknown if these photos were taken in the early 40s or late 40s, as Montez was active at Universal throughout most of the decade.

from Photoplay, January 1931
original caption:
HERE'S a strangely fascinating picture of Lupe Velez, that complex exotic star. What story is more exciting than the narrative of Lupe's tempestuous loves and hates? What could have been more unexpected than her adoption of her sister's child? In "The Half Naked Truth," recently completed, she gives a new kind of characterization
Photographer: Hurrell
