Anita Berber, a symbol of the excesses of the 20s, was a star that burned brightly and briefly. She died at the age of 29.
By the age of 16 she was a caberet dancer, by 1919 she was dancing nude and working in film, she was also writer and prostitute, she wore heavy make up, in black and white photos and films this came across as jet black lipstick painted across the heart-shaped part of her skinny lips, and charcoaled eyes, Her style was erotic and edgy

One of the things she is known for was wearing a costume consisting of a skirt made of a string of artificial bananas. Her success coincided (1925) with the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs, which gave birth to the term "Art Deco".
So heres an awesome little video i found of her, some of her facial expressions and her moves are amazing.
