Bessie Love was a hugely popular star of silent movies and early talkies who dropped out of high school to pursue a film career. She had moved from Texas to Hollywood with her father, who was a cowboy-turned-chiropractor, and mother, and she entered the film biz upon the urging of family friend and actor Tom Mix.
I'll offer more trivia about Bessie Love in future installments of The Love Quarterly, but I'm not sure I'll ever top the bit about her father being a Texas cowboy who became a California chiropractor. Meanwhile, here are a couple more photos of Love that demonstrate the unifying theme off this blog.
