Hema Malini (1948-) is an Indian actress who acted in several successful Hindi films in the 1970s. She maintained her flamboyant persona to the end of her life and was often compared to the Gloria Swanson character Norma Desmond, from the film Sunset Boulevard. Negri lived her remaining years in relative obscurity. In the same year she received an honorary award from the German film industry, for her career work. Her final film appearance was in the 1964 Disney film The Moon-spinners. She made only a few films after this, and worked mainly in Europe. Her style of vamp was beginning to go out of vogue, and the advent of talking pictures revealed a accented voice that the public did not warm to. Negri's career began to decline. They dismissed her actions as a publicity stunt. Despite the wide publicity she attracted, many of Valentino's friends stated that Valentino and Negri had not intended to marry. At his funeral she fainted several times, and had arranged for a large floral arrangement which spelled her name to be placed on Valentino's coffin. Negri caused a media sensation after the death in 1926 of Valentino by announcing that they had planned to marry, and following the train that carried his body from New York to Los Angeles, posing for photographers at every stop. Negri's exotic style of glamour proved popular with audiences during the 1920s, and her association with such actors as Charles Chaplin and Rudolph Valentino ensured she remained in the public eye. Their films were successful throughout the world, and in 1922 both were offered contracts with Hollywood studios. Her popularity provided her with an opportunity to move to Berlin where she appeared in several films for director Ernst Lubitsch. She turned to acting, and by the end of World War I had established herself as a popular stage actress in Warsaw and had appeared in several films. Born Barbara Apolonia Chałupiec in the village of Janowa, Poland, Negri trained as a dancer and performed ballet until forced by illness to change her profession. Pola Negri (December 31, 1894 - August 1, 1987) was a film actress who achieved notoriety as a femme fatale in silent films. |
