EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the youthful beauty and charisma of French film actress Lily Damita in 1928, at the height of the Jazz Age in Paris. Born in Algiers, Damita began her acting career in France at a young age and quickly rose to fame for her striking looks and expressive performances. In this image, she exudes an air of sophistication and mystery, with her piercing gaze and elegant attire. At the time this photograph was taken, Damita was on the cusp of international stardom. In the late 1920s, she made the move to Hollywood, where she would go on to appear in numerous films and become a popular leading lady. Her most notable role came in 1933 when she starred alongside Errol Flynn in the film "Captain Blood." The two actors would later marry in 1935, marking the beginning of a tumultuous and highly publicized relationship. Despite her success in Hollywood, Damita's roots in the French silent cinema scene remained an important part of her identity. She continued to work in both France and America throughout the 1930s and 1940s, eventually retiring from acting in the late 1950s. This photograph serves as a reminder of Damita's significant contributions to the history of cinema during the 1920s and beyond, and her enduring legacy as a captivating and talented actress.
