EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the bittersweet moment when actress and singer Lilian Harvey left her home in Berlin for the bright lights of Hollywood. In the studio portrait, she exudes elegance and grace, a star on the brink of international fame. But it is the tearful reportage photograph that truly tugs at the heartstrings, as Harvey says goodbye to everything she has ever known.
As she embarks on this new chapter in her career at Fox Studios, Hollywood, one can't help but wonder what sacrifices were made and what dreams were left behind. The caption "Oh Hollywood, What hast though done?" speaks volumes about the emotional turmoil that must have accompanied such a life-changing decision.
Lilian Harvey's story is emblematic of so many artists who have had to leave their homes in search of greater opportunities. Her talent and beauty may have taken her far from Berlin, but one can only imagine the longing in her heart for the place she once called home.
In this image from 1933, we see not just an actress leaving for Hollywood, but a woman grappling with love, loss, and ambition. It is a reminder that behind every glamorous facade lies a human being with hopes and fears just like our own.
