I’ve seen their work and quite frankly it doesn’t hold up. They are not as attractive and talented as you suggest. Furthermore, the silent stars that are membered today were multi-talented. They directed, edited, wrote, and acted in their own movies. The Talmadges were unable or unwilling to do this.
