Book excerpt: Pola Negri, born Apollonia Chapulek in Poland, was a singer, stage and film actress who achieved worldwide fame during the silent and golden eras of Hollywood and European film for her tragedienne and femme fatale roles. Her career on stage began in 1913, but as WWI devastated those venues, she relocated to Germany, to become a star in silent films. American Director Adolph Zukor lured her to Paramount in 1921, for one of her most productive decades. She married glamorously, to Polish Count Eugene Dambski and Georgian Prince Serge Mdivani, but her liaisons were even more fabulous: Charles Chaplin, millionaires Wolfgang George Schleber (German) and Glen Kidston (British), but it was the great Latin lover Rudolph Valentino who won her lasting regard, despite only one year of happiness. This book is her story of her storied life.
