Did You Know?

Trivia:

Was popular as a foreign star in the Soviet Union. Talmadge had a large presence in the Soviet market as movies made by independent American producers like Talmadge could be more easily, and cheaply imported. Talmadge's films played only in marginal theaters in the United States (due to the tight control of major theater chains by the large producers)... See more »
