Lya was a Hungarian dancer, actress and Hollywood star. She was born Amália Putti the daughter of a cavalry officier. She began her stage career on the Hungarian Vaudeville circuit before performing ballet in Berlin, becoming “premiere danseuse” at the Berlin Winter Garden in 1924. She travelled to America in 1926 to pursue a career in Hollywood.

Sadly she failed find the success she desired as her foreign accent was not popular with casting directors. She had left the film industry by 1929 in an attempt to re-start her career on Broadway before moving to England to make silents films and study English language.

Her career was cut short by her tragic death aged 34, after she was hospitalized to have a chicken bone removed from her throat. The resultant developed into pleurisy in her right side, followed by pneumonia in both lungs.
