Lya De Putti (January 10, 1897 – November 27, 1931) was a Hungarian film actress of the silent era, noted for her portrayal of vamp characters. ==Early life and career== Born as Amália Putti ((ハンガリー語:Putti Amália)) in Vécse, Austria-Hungary (today Vojčice, Slovakia), she was one of the four children of Gyula Putti ((ハンガリー語:Putti Gyula)), a cavalry officer, and his wife, the former Mária Holyos ((ハンガリー語:Holyos Mária)). She had two brothers, Géza and Sándor, the latter served as a first lieutenant in the Austro-Hungarian army,〔 and a sister, Mária. She began her stage career on the Hungarian Vaudeville circuit. She soon progressed to Berlin, where after performing in the ballet, she made her screen debut in 1918. She became the premiere danseuse at the Berlin Winter Garden in 1924. Around that time German film director Jol Mai noticed her and cast her in her first important film, ''The Mistress of the World''. She followed this success with noteworthy performances in ''Manon Lescaut'' and ''Varieté'' (1925). The latter featured her opposite Emil Jannings and directed by E. A. Dupont. Both films are UFA productions. While in Germany, De Putti starred with such actors as Conrad Veidt, Alfred Abel, Werner Krauss, Grete Mosheim, and Lil Dagover and was filmed by directors F. W. Murnau and Fritz Lang. De Putti came to America in February 1926. At the time she told reporters she was twenty-two years old but her ocean liner's records list her as having been twenty-six. De Putti was generally cast as a vamp character, and often wore her dark hair short, in a style similar to that of Louise Brooks or Colleen Moore. De Putti starred in D. W. Griffith's ''The Sorrows of Satan'' (1926). The film was released in two versions, one in America and the other in Europe. In the American version one scene had De Putti fully dressed whereas the same scene in the European release had De Putti topless. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lya De Putti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
