do men hate aloy because they can’t stand that a lesbian woman who doesn’t live up to their beauty standards is the main character of a game AND is called champion and savior the whole time? or do they just dislike redheads???

One thing about Michael, he always had the most beautiful leading ladies in his short films.

Dorothy Revier ~born April 18, 1904 in San Francisco, California

🎞 American silent film actress and dancer. She was known for her roles as a leading lady and femme fatale during the 1920s. She began her career in 1921 and worked with studios like Columbia Pictures, and was named a Wampas Baby Star in 1925. 

Revier danced with a Russian ballet company on tour, but homesickness brought her back to San Francisco, where she became the featured dancer at Tait's Cafe. She was discovered by a talent agent while working in a cabaret and signed to a film contract by Harry Cohn.

She starred in numerous silent films such as The Iron Mask (1929) and successfully transitioned to early "talkies". Due to her prolific work in low-budget, independent films (specifically for Columbia Pictures), she earned the nickname "Queen of Poverty Row".

She acted in over 90 films, including The Broadway Madonna (1922) The Fate of a Flirt (1925) and The Black Camel (1931) before retiring in 1936. (d; November 19, 1993 in Hollywood, California, aged 89)
