Vintage actress Debra Paget
She made her first steps on the professional stage at the age of eight. At thirteen years old she played in the theater in “Merry Wives of Windsor”, and started playing in films at the age of 15. Debra starred in many westerns, playing Indian women, islanders, and residents of the East. For that very reason and probably for her talents in oriental dancing, she became known as an “exotic girl”.
Exotic girl and belly-dancer, she used to decorate herself with lots of gorgeous costume jewellery – long and massive earrings, gold chains, large necklaces or parures, and lots of bracelets. Traditionally, she wore tasteful high jewellery pieces, demonstrating good taste of a delicate glamorous lady.
By the mid-1950s Debra is becoming less popular, and in 1957, the contract with the film studio 20th Century Fox was terminated.
