The King Baggot Tribute will take place Wednesday September 28th at 7pm at Lee Auditorium inside the Missouri History Museum (Lindell and DeBaliviere in Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri). The 1913 silent film Ivanhoe will be accompanied by The Rats and People Motion Picture Orchestra and there will be a 40-minute illustrated lecture on the life and career of King Baggot by We Are Movie Geeks’ Tom Stockman. A Facebook invite for the event can be found Here

Here’s a look at the final phase of King Baggot’s career.

King Baggot, the first ‘King of the Movies’ died July 11th, 1948 penniless and mostly forgotten at age 68. A St. Louis native, Baggot was at one time Hollywood’s most popular star, known is his heyday as “The Most Photographed Man in the World” and “More Famous Than the Man in the Moon”. Yet even in his hometown, Baggot had faded into obscurity.

It’s an honor to be named to the ranks of People magazine’s Most Beautiful roster and this year Shay Mitchell, Ariana Grande and Gabrielle Union made the cut.

Earlier today (April 16) Miss Mitchell was the latest to be named, joining the previously-announced starlets Vanessa Hudgens, Grande and Union.

Ms. Union previously told press that now that she’s in her forties, skincare is of utmost importance- “In my mid-thirties I started drinking a gallon of water a day. It's made a tremendous difference with my hair, skin, and nails. It's something that everyone has access to and it not only helps with your beauty, it also helps with your fitness and digestion.”...

Looking ahead to the springtime dance season, Seventeen Prom has selected Maia Mitchell to front the new issue.

The “Fosters” star explains her own vision of what she would wear to the big event- “I wanted to wear a salmon-pink halter dress with a low back. My hair would be in a loose, messy, curly updo so that you could see my shoulders. My friends and I decided that we would all go together, makeup-free, and wear these stunning dresses.”

Maia also shares her thoughts on asking a guy to prom- “I didn’t really like anyone in my high school, not like that anyway. I had a lot of guy friends but no one that I had feelings for. But I’m sure if I’d had, I would have just asked them. That’s how I am—I don’t like games, and I don’t beat around the bush.

The King Baggot Tribute will take place Friday, November 14th at Webster University’s Moore Auditorium beginning at 7pm as part of this year’s St. Louis Intenational FIlm Festival. The program will consist a rare 35mm screening of the 1913 epic Ivanhoe starring King Baggot with live music accompaniment by the Rats and People Motion Picture Orchestra. Ivanhoe will be followed by an illustrated lecture on the life and films of King Baggot presented by Tom Stockman, editor here at We Are Movie Geeks. After that will screen the influential silent western Tumbleweeds (1925), considered to be one of King Baggot’s finest achievements as a director. Tumbleweeds will feature live piano accompaniment by Matt Pace.

Always up for a photo shoot, Shay Mitchell is picture of posing perfection on the November 2014 cover of Glamour Mexico magazine.

The “Pretty Little Liars” actress worked with photographer Franike Batista and stylist Ricky Bennick for the spread, channeling an unmistakable ‘Golden Age of Hollywood’ vibe.

Of her successful ABC series, Shay told the magazine, “Honestly, it’s a dream come true. Every day I realize how much fun this project, and we are pleased to note the importance of the hearing, see completely different from what they are used to on TV (a bit of drama and action things have never hurt anyone!). However, what excites me is that we are a great team, from the cast to the production and writers … that makes it more enjoyable. The whole atmosphere feels so homey, it always reminds me why I love what I do. I am glad that we all...

Taking time away from her hit ABC series "Pretty Little Liars," Shay Mitchell garnered herself some added exposure by covering the April 2014 issue of Women's Running magazine.

The 26-year-old actress looked super cute in her favorite workout gear for the publication's spread while dishing about her hobbies including boxing and running.

Highlights from Miss Mitchell's interview below. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Women's Running!

On her first marathon:

"Now I see why people keep running – it’s so addictive. The energy [at the race] was overwhelming. I was nervous at first, but once we started going, I think I was tearing up off and on for the first 10 minutes of the race!”

On her love for boxing:

"Boxing was one of the most tiring things I’ve ever done. Before I boxed, I would do a lot of dancing in the studio – just an hour of making up moves.

The Devil’s Claim (1920) Direction: Charles Swickard Screenplay: J. Grubb Alexander Cast: Sessue Hayakawa, Rhea Mitchell, Colleen Moore, William Buckley In The Devil’s Claim, Sessue Hayakawa plays an Indian (!) novelist who uses his experiences with women as inspiration for his novels. Next, he encounters a young American woman (Rhea Mitchell) who tells him a story about Satan-worshipping societies and evil talismans. Her real motive, however, is to reunite the novelist with Indora (future 1920s superstar Colleen Moore), a young Persian girl whom he had abandoned. Directed by Charles Swickard from a screenplay by J. Grubb Alexander, The Devil’s Claim is an excellent drama — and so is Hayakawa’s performance. Much of the plot is told in the "story within a story" mode, [...]...
