EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Parlo, Dita, Miss," was captured by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on February 22, 1932. The subject of the photograph is Dita Parlo, born Gerda Olga Justine Kornstadt, a German-born actress who made a name for herself in the American film industry during the 1930s. Parlo's expressive face and striking features are on full display in this profile shot. Her lips are painted a bold, striking red, accentuating her full, pouty lips. The use of lipstick was a popular trend in the film industry during the 1930s, and Parlo's makeup perfectly encapsulates the glamour and allure of the era. Despite her German heritage, Parlo found success in Hollywood, appearing in films such as "Escape Me Never" and "The Maltese Falcon." Her acting career spanned from the late 1920s to the late 1950s, making her a fixture in the moving picture industry during the Thirties. This portrait photograph is a testament to the art of cinematography and the enduring appeal of classic Hollywood. The nitrate negative preserves the intricacies of Parlo's features, from the delicate lines on her face to the subtle texture of her skin. The image is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, showcasing the rich history of American entertainment and the evolution of acting and portraiture. The photograph's location is unknown, but the timeless quality of the image and Parlo's captivating presence transport us to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication.
