"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot" HELL. YES.

Historical hearsay dictates that Jean Harlow was meant to be the original Maisie, a role that fell to Ann Sothern's feet in 1939. I wrote about why it's not that cut and dried on Vitaphone Zone. vitaphonezone.substack.com/p/was-maisie...
