The Artist

Hollywood 1927. George Valentin est une vedette du cinéma muet à qui tout sourit. L'arrivée des films parlants va le faire sombrer dans l'oubli. Peppy Miller, jeune figurante, va elle, être propulsée au firmament des stars. Ce film raconte l'histoire de leurs destins croisés, ou comment la célébrité, l'orgueil et l'argent peuvent être autant d'obstacles à leur histoire d'amour.

Colorization by photographer Marco Réardon of a b+w picture of actress Lily Elsie

Lily Elsie (1886-1962) made her name on the opening night of The Merry Widow, in London, on 8th June 1907. Overnight she had the town at her feet. On the stage Elsie seemed mysteriously beautiful with her perfect Grecian profile, enormous blue eyes, and hauntingly sad smile. Tall, cool, and lily-like, she moved with lyrical gestures in a slow-motion grace.

She was a true 'star' of Edwardian times, although the word was yet to be used in that context. Magazines produced special supplements about her, adverts featured her picture.

Although her fame and fortune came entirely from public appearances she was painfully shy. After just a few years on the stage she retired to a quite life away from the public eye. She did however leave us with hundreds of pictures, a few gramophone discs, and two films, to remember her by.

Lily Damita in Das Spielzeug von Paris (1925) da Truus, Bob & Jan too! Tramite Flickr: Austrian postcard by Iris Verlag, no. 486. Photo: Manassé, Wien / Sascha. Lily Damita in Das Spielzeug von Paris/Red Heels (Michael Kertesz a.k.a. Michael Curtis, 1925). Beautiful and seductive French actress Lily Damita (1902-1994) appeared in 33 French, Austrian, and Hollywood films between 1922 and 1937. Her marriage with Errol Flynn was rather tempestuous and led to her nickname 'Dynamita'. For more postcards, a bio and clips check out our blog European Film Star Postcards.
