Trivia:

The premiere of her first feature film, Hell's Angels (1930), on May 27, 1930, drew an estimated crowd of 50,000 at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. The film also has an expensive eight-minute two-color Technicolor sequence--the only color footage of her that exists. See more »
