Since censorship customarily demanded that goodness prevail, vixens were in mainly supporting roles--but the actresses who played them were often colorful scene stealers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e These characters and the women who played them first began to appear in film in 1915 when Theda Bara played home-wrecker Elsie Drummond in \u003ci\u003eThe Vixen.\u003c\/i\u003e Movie theaters filled and the industry focused on heaving bosoms and ceaseless lust. Bara never shed the vamp image. The type evolved into the flapper, the gangster's moll, the \"dame,\" and the \"bad girl.\" This work covers the lives and careers of 28 actresses, providing details about their lives and giving complete filmographies of their careers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans J.
