An Original Vintage 6 3/4" x 9 1/4" [17 x 23 cm] English (8x10) News Photo (Learn More) Lilian Harvey (also known as Lillian Harvey; she was born Helene Lilian Muriel Pape) was born in 1906 in London to an English mother and a German father, and she spent much of her childhood in Switzerland, but then lived in Germany, where she acted in movies starting in the 1920s. She became UFA's biggest female star in the 1930s, and when the Nazis came to power, she helped many of her actor friends escape Germany, and then she too had to escape. She went to Hollywood, where she signed a contract with Fox, but she did not have much success, partly because of her strong connection to movies made during the Nazi period. After the war, she moved to Europe and worked on the stage there, and eventually retired to the Riviera. Some of her movies include: The Empress and I, Congress Dances, Three Good Friends, Quick, and Temporary Widow. Harvey passed away in 1968 at the age of 62. Important Added Info: Note that this English news photo (which measures 6 3/4" x 9 1/4" [17 x 23 cm]) has the UFA symbol in the lower left because the English news agency used the German image. It has an English stamp and an English snipe on the back. Of course, it is also possible that they simply used a German photo, but it is not on the heavier stock that German photos of this period are usually on, so we think it is an English photo. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
