Film Set, France 1915 MV1510 Costume Full body black unitard with hood, black heeled shoes, gloves. Only her face. Actions Musidora lies her cat-suit clad body on a bench; tree-embroidered drapes provide a backdrop (1). Commentary "The Vampires series make a star out of French actress Musidora, who has the honor of being the first vamp and femme fatale in cinema history. In her tightly fitting black costume, and with her beautifully alluring looks, her part as the notorious Irma Vep (an anagram of 'vampire') has an indelibly iconic feel about it, and must have both shocked and delighted cinema audiences at the time," writes frenchfilms.topcities.com.
