Made For Love (film)
''Made for Love'' is a 1926 American silent drama film directed by Paul Sloane, produced by Cecil B. DeMille, and starring Leatrice Joy. Cast Production In the first reel, the introduction of Joan (Leatrice Joy) is accompanied by a closeup with her new hair style. Joy had impulsively cut her hair short in 1926, and DeMille, whom Joy had followed when he set up Producers Distributing Corporation, was publicly angry as it prevented her from portraying traditional feminine roles. The studio developed projects with roles suitable for her “Leatrice Joy bob”, and ''Made for Love'' was the first of five films before she regrew her hair. Despite this, a professional dispute would end the Joy / Demille partnership in 1928. Preservation A copy of ''Made for Love'' is preserved film at the UCLA Film and Television Archive The UCLA Film & Television Archive is a visual arts organization focused on the preservation, study, and appreciation of film and television, based at the Unive ...
