Description: This uncommon vintage real photo postcard features internationally acclaimed Polish-born actress and dancer, Pola Negri (1897-1987). Her father was a stage actor. She began her career in the theaters of Poland. In 1917, she made her film debut in the silent film, "Bestia". She became an established Polish silent film actress. In 1922, Paramount brought her to Hollywood and she became one of the studio's biggest stars. She appeared in a number of successful films, including "Forbidden Paradise" (1924), "A Woman of the World" (1925), and "The Eagle" (1925). She was known for her dramatic and intense performances, her exotic beauty, and European accent. She became a favorite of American film audiences. Negri's personal life was often the subject of media attention. She had a high-profile romance with fellow actor Rudolph Valentino, which lasted until his death in 1926. She was also linked to several other Hollywood actors, including Charlie Chaplin and Gary Cooper. Negri's career began to decline in the late 1920s, as the introduction of sound films made it more difficult for non-native English speakers to succeed in Hollywood. She returned to Europe in the early 1930s, where she continued to work in films and on stage. During World War II, Negri entertained American and British troops stationed in Europe. Negri's last film appearance was in the 1964 film "The Moon-Spinners,". She continued to perform on stage until the 1970s, and she also wrote several books about her life and career. Pola Negri died in1987, at the age of 90, in San Antonio, Texas. This vintage postcard was published by Ross Verlag as part of a series (1484/2). Negri's portrait seen on this card was taken for Parufament. Parufamet was a film distribution company formed by Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), and the German company UFA GmbH. This company was founded in 1925.This postcard's corners show evidence of formerly being in a photo album. The postcard is in overall Good Condition (see scans).
