Who were (and are) Hollywood's "Sloe-Eyed Vamps"?

from dictionary.com:
1 entry found for sloe-eyed.
sloe-eyed (sld)
adj.
Having slanted dark eyes.
where does one start? there must be bazillions! I think it had something to do with the silent film era, but names escape me this early on a saturday morning - I'll check back later!
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

Sondheim's chronology in "I'm Still Here" doesn't go that far back. I thought it referred more to stars like Veronica Lake and Linda Darnell.

Imagine a blend of Joan Crawford, Dolores Del Rio, Linda Darnell and Vera Charles.
That's María Felix.

Nice pics. :)
I love that Pola pic.
I had it on a T-shirt when I was a teen.
Lupe is cool too. Very sultry.
Gloria Swanson had great eyes but prolly not a sloe-eyed vamp, right?

I think La Swanson counts. Also, though not Hollywood, how about Musidora?
The pic you're referring to is Theda Bara, not Pola Negri, but yeah, it's great.

Oops, that's right.
Teens were so long ago.
