Barbara, pictured with her maid and chauffeur, often arrived at United Studios in her bathrobe during filming of The Girl from Montmartre in 1925. Concealing a grave illness beneath her cheery front, she was fighting for a chance to defy her sex-symbol typecasting and stage a career comeback. She would never learn of the plaudits her performance garnered; she passed away on January 30, 1926, at the age of twenty-nine—the day before the film’s release.
