She was 67?! 67!!! She must've really had magic. She looks like mid 50's. And as a former beauty professional, I can tell you the difference from your 50's to your 60's is the biggest in terms of physical aging, looking older, etc. So for a woman who is nearly 70 to look mid-fifties is truly amazing. She was so gorgeous.
a lot of actresses can't make the transition from silent to talkies but she did it easily. Plus she had to learn English, German and Russian. She's Polish and had a really tough childhood. God bless her. See her excellent performance in Der Gelbe Schein. There are English subtitles....1918 and it was great but you must read the synopsis in Wikipedia first so you can follow what's going on.
On the contrary, Pola Negri was the classic example of a silent era actress that couldn't accommodate herself in sound era. She relied mostly on her looks and sex-appeal; her accent was off course too strong, plus too many private scandals made her rather notorious in Hollywood; needless to say this sound movie was one of the very few she made.
She was a beauty in her youth & still beautiful at 67. She was deeply in love with Rudolph Valentino in 1925. He was seeing her, but still in love with his former wife, Natasha Rambova.
barwoman Screen queens are ALWAYS supposed to look after themselves! Just look at Negri's one-time supposed studio rival, Gloria Swanson. No booze, didn't smoke, macrobiotic diet, regular exercise, kept her mind active; she looked amazing through the 1960s into the 1970s and beyond.
james They weren't engaged. They just worked at the same studio. I don't know if they had a romance or not (Valentino was bisexual with a leaning toward older, wealthier women) but the whole scene at the funeral was Negri's (or Paramount's) idea of great publicity. Tacky.
@@SLASHzoneYEAH Rudy was not bisexual it was a rumor spread at the time of his life to make him look bad. For a good insight on Rudy's life read affairs Valentino by Evelyn Zumaya.
They were the most romantic lovers engaged. Rudolph and Paola told me in Hollywood. I am Clairevoyant and channeled Paola at the corner of the Roosevelt hotel.
@@andrewthornhill7042 There is no proof he was bisexual. This rumor was started in the 1970s just to sell books. He is dead and can't defend himself. Poor Rudy, so many snakes still after him.
Polskiego to akurat nigdy nie zapomniała :P (jest dostępny wywiad z 1982) Z innych ciekawostek: ten strój obecnie znajduje się w Polsce (w Muzeum Kinematografii w Łodzi), przekazała go jednemu Polakowi.
qczek1988. Mowi dobrze po angielsku tylko z akcentem.Docenili ja lepiej niz Pacule,Rosatti....Akcentu trudno sie nauczyc zaczynajac sie uczyc jezyka pozno
No fajnie. Tylko ty masz styczność z angielskim od wczesnego dzieciństwa poprzez internet, telewizję czy gry. A Pola zaczęła się go uczyć będąc już dojrzałą kobietą. Pozbycie się akcentu w tym wieku jest praktycznie niemożliwe.
Kolejna lingwistka się znalazła. Patrz na jej grę, ciesz się, że odniosła MIĘDZYNARODOWY sukces, a nie krytykujesz nie wiadomo po co? Co ty w ogóle wiesz o Poli Negri? Poczytaj.
Pola's accent is so thick! Love it!

She was born 1906 so she was 58 in 1964

AMAZING ACTRESS! POLA NEGRI IS A DIVA!
Pola was magnetic at any age.
And, she would’ve been amazing as Norma Desmond
YES!
Great job of casting, putting Pola Negri in this role! She knew what they expected for her character and she gave a fantastic performance.
67 lat??? Jak ona to zrobiła ? Wygląda na 50. Genialna. Pyszna.
She still had it. I just saw her in a 1927 silent film called "Barbed Wire," and it's remarkable how good she looked nearly four decades later.

Now I want to watch the whole movie

Wow what a regal woman. She was super good friends with Mae West and with Frank Sinatras' Vegas crowd. Apparently fun to party with.
Pola was born in Poland in small town Lipno
Thank you for posting this old clip!

Can you believe that Hayley Mills is 77 now?
Fine show Pola!
Aloha from Hawaii!

That is a very fancy laptop Madame Habib is working on.
Damn,she was supposed to be 67?She looks amazing for her age.

Pola's voice and attitude is incredible, she looks like a drag. thanks for showing such a rare piece.
@Hugo....no ... drag queens look like Her! Queenie...!
This is priceless
She is the one who made a big dramatic scene at Rudolph Valentino's Funeral!! She claimed they were engaged to be married but nobody can prove it!

Is that Hayley Mills?
Both Pola Negri and Hayley Mills are very classy.
She would be great Morticia Addams :D
Tak, jest niesamowita! :)
Rip pola negri 🇵🇱🇵🇱 actress star polish
She had a strong Polish accent.
She was Rudolph Valentine last love.
Pola Negri doesn't look like she's 67!
Reading Hayley new book. She tells how they adjusted the dress so no cleavage showed for Disney culture.
Nothing like the book Moonspinners by Mary Stewart this is supposed to based on.
Really polish accent
The Moonspinners opening song ruclips.net/video/8rSociOGPz4/видео.html
She scares me!
I half expect Pola to burst into song. ("I'm just a sweet transvestite, from transexual, Transylvania, ha ha ha . . . )
nawet na starość słabo po angielsku mówiła. zreszta nawet i po polsku tez bo głos straszny miała

@@Kaya.184 była gwiazdą filmów niemych. Gdy wprowadzili filmy dźwiękowe jej kariera podupadła i widać niestety dlaczego.
straszny angielski
No tak, Polak musi skrytykować Polaka. A kogo Pola Negri gra w tym filmie? Może dlatego ma taki akcent, nie przyszło do głowy?
Ona nie gra Amerykanki w tym filmie wiec to normalne ze ma taki akcent
Is she divine!
She is! I love her! She inspired me at a young age to do theater. Amazing lady.
