Lilli Palmer

Lilli Palmer commands my full respect. Born in Poznań in 1914 as Lilli Peiser, she navigated one of history's darkest centuries, breaking into British cinema in the 1930s before reaching major Hollywood productions and a Golden Globe nomination. A Volpi Cup, a Walk of Fame star, and a German Order of Merit only hint at her range across film, stage, television, and voice work, and she wrote as well. To me, performers who survived the upheavals of 20th-century Europe carry a gravity no acting class can teach. Palmer had exactly that, and her legacy still deserves to be remembered.
