LILY DAMITA. Vintage 3.5 x 5.5 matte finish sepia tone head and shoulders portrait, circa 1925, boldly signed in turquoise fountain pen. Some slightly uneven adherence of ink; otherwise very fine condition. Following a successful career in French and German films during the 1920s, French-born actress Lili (or Lily) Damita relocated to Hollywood in 1929, making only about a dozen more films before retiring in 1937. Thereafter, her stormy marriage to Errol Flynn kept her name in the headlines until their divorce in 1942.
