Comments on: Actress Dorothy Janis Dies: One of the Last Silent Screen Performers http://www.altfg.com/blog/classics/dorothy-janis-dies-silent-movies-591/ The Oscars, film awards, new releases, Los Angeles screenings, movie classics, gay movies, film festivals, box office, foreign and independent films Tue, 22 May 2012 06:34:28 +0000 hourly 1 By: John Smith http://www.altfg.com/blog/classics/dorothy-janis-dies-silent-movies-591/#comment-490884 John Smith Mon, 14 Jun 2010 00:19:54 +0000 http://www.altfg.com/blog/?p=23225#comment-490884 Dorothy Janis was an inspiration to all. Her acting was modern compared to her contemporaries. Her look was way ahead of the standards of beauty of her day. I saw her stills in the late '60s and thought that she was part of the new breed of actors from that time. Recent pictures reveal that she did not only age gracefully, she didn't age at all, a tribute to a good life. Jay Payton states that her brief contributions will be cherished forever and she will always be remembered fondly. I agree, Jay, and I thank you. And thank you to Ms Janis. Rest in peace, good friend. Dorothy Janis was an inspiration to all. Her acting was modern compared to her contemporaries. Her look was way ahead of the standards of beauty of her day.

Since the notice was prepared and submitted by her family, we must assume that 1912 is the correct year.
