An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Miroslava Sternova (always billed as "Miroslava") was a Czech actress from the 1940s to the 1950s. She was a fascinating and tragic actress. She was adopted by Jewish parents (although she was not Jewish), and the entire family barely escaped death in the concentration camps. They ended up in Mexico, where she won a beauty contest, and went to Hollywood to become an actress, but because of her "ethnic" looks, she did not have much success, but she had torrid love affairs, including one with a U.S. soldier, who was killed in action during World War II, after which she attempted suicide. She appeared in a number of Mexican movies, often playing bad girls or sleazy women. She got a giant break in 1955, getting a lead role in Luis Bunuel's "The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz", but she committed suicide as the movie was opening, after yet another failed love affair. She was only 30 years old. Some of her movies include: The Brave Bulls, Adventures of Casanova and Stranger on Horseback Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
