EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic presence of German stage and screen legend, Lil Dagover, in a striking pose from the year 1930. Dagover, born in 1897, was a renowned actress whose career spanned nearly six decades in both theater and film. In this image, she exudes an air of sophistication and mystery as she dons a velvet riding costume, complete with a crop in hand and a confident, alluring expression on her face. The photograph was taken during the height of Dagover's film career, which saw her collaborate with some of the most influential directors of the time, including F.W. Murnau, Fritz Lang, and Fritz Kortner. Her most famous role during this period was as the Countess Saffi in Lang's classic silent film, "M" (1931), where she played the wife of the murderer, Hans Beckert, portrayed by Peter Lorre. Despite her success in film, Dagover remained dedicated to the stage and continued to perform in productions throughout her career. Her versatility as an actress allowed her to seamlessly transition between the two mediums, earning her critical acclaim and a devoted fan base. This photograph is a testament to Dagover's enduring allure and the captivating nature of her on-screen presence. With her hand on her hip and a hint of a smile playing at the corners of her mouth, she invites us into her world, leaving us eager to explore the many roles she brought to life throughout her remarkable career.
