Gloria Swanson and Bebe Daniels, 30 October 2001
Author: jyoung-11 from London, England

Now that Swanson was DeMille's leading lady, Cecil had his eye on Bebe Daniels from the Harold Lloyd short films. He decided to enlist her skills in his next project, 'Male and Female', and put her alongside Gloria Swanson. In DeMille's early films, they did not belong in his canon, but in the canon of his stars like Gloria Swanson, Bebe Daniels and Mary Pickford.
