Rose Hobart


Rose Hobart is an experimental film from 1936 by Joseph Cornell. It features the titular actress in the b-movie East of Borneo. Cornell re-edited the footage along with other found footage to create, along with the already posted Meshes of the Afternoon, one of the most important American experimental films.

I couldn't dig up an embeddable version, so here's a link to a wonderful ubuweb entry about Joseph Cornell, information about the film, and of course, the work in its entirety.
