Anita Page (born Anita Evelyn Pomares; August 4, 1910 – September 6, 2008) was an American film actress who reached stardom in the final years of the silent film era.[1]

She was referred to as "a blond, blue-eyed Latin"[2] and "the girl with the most beautiful face in Hollywood" in the 1920s.[3] She retired from acting in 1936, but made a comeback in 1961, then she retired again. Page returned to acting 35 years later in 1996 and appeared in four films in the 2000s.
