This week's mystery guest has 125 credits on imdb.

Update: Steven Bibb and Gregory Moore have correctly identified our mystery star. I'm going to defer revealing her name to give other readers a chance. Congrats, Steven and Gregory!

Add Alexa Foreman and Herb Nichols to the people who have identified *one* of our mystery women.

And yes, this is Evelyn Brent and Louise Brooks from "King of Gamblers." (Brooks' scenes were evidently deleted).

Mystery woman #2 is Louise Brooks.

Louise Brooks has 130 credits on imdb? Last time I checked she didn't even make 30 movies.
