LOS ANGELES — Anita Page, an MGM actress who appeared in films with Lon Chaney, Joan Crawford and Buster Keaton during the transition from silent movies to talkies, has died. She was 98. Page died in her sleep early Saturday morning at her home in Los Angeles, said actor Randal Malone, her longtime...

Jesus Christ. Is she from the 1950's or something? Hardly. In the 1950s some of these books including Silas Marner were required reading in most high schools.
