Nash the Slash started out in the 70's doing live soundtracks to silent horror films. Next Sunday GARY TOPP is doing a film fest with "Nosferatu" & "Caligari". Here I took one Nash did for "Nosferatu" and synched it up......(1) youtube.com/watch?v=-I_HXP2o…

....Unfortunately the soundtrack I had was apparently for the shorter American print which was the one mostly available in the pre digital age and it's of inferior quality but it's the only version that fits here. I don't know which print Gary will be using.

Her actual film career was brief & minor with no starring roles mostly in films produced by her uncle Carl Laemmle as she preferred dancing both in ballet & on Broadway. But she lived a long life until dying in 2014 aged 104 and was a cheery interview subject.
