Vanity is a 1927, American silent drama film directed by Donald Crisp and starring Leatrice Joy.

The film was written by Douglas Doty, produced by DeMille Pictures Corporation and distributed by Producers Distributing Corporation.

[1] Leatrice Joy had impulsively cut her hair short in 1926, and Cecil B. DeMille, whom Joy had followed when he set up Producers Distributing Corporation, was publicly angry as it prevented her from portraying traditional feminine roles.

[2] The studio developed projects with roles suitable for her “Leatrice Joy bob”,[2] and Vanity was the final of five films shot before she regrew her hair.

Despite this, a professional dispute would end the Joy / Demille partnership in 1928.
