Irene Lentz, in 1923 “Dare Devil” scene
Many thanks to Steve Rydzewski for sharing this with us!
A scene from Ben Turpin’s classic Mack Sennett comedy, “The Dare-Devil,” released in November 1923. That’s Irene in the black wig, Jack Richardson on the couch, and an unknown player in the beard.

Irene is my grand-aunt, and admired for her work in women's fashion and Hollywood costume design. Her talent as a successful clothing designer in Los Angeles led to her long career as a costume designer for many great films in Hollywood.. until her sudden death in 1962. I hope you enjoy your visit.. ~ Karlyn
It’s moments such as now, that I wish I had both mum AND my grandmother here…they’d get such a kick out of this website, especially when I would brag my diva-sister just happens to be the niece of Irene!
Both adored the film, “Easter Parade”, and both always shared their passion for films, with me
An absolutely stunning-site, designed perfectly to suit the glamorous photo’s & clothes!
