Surprisingly when Lilli Palmer was en route to her first film (via Germany, courtesy of Hitler, and a year of precarious cabaret work in France)she was told she had to acquire charm. What other quality would one attribute to her, then or now, as she reviews her life in and out of films and plays, usually subsidiary to the roles her more famous, wandering husband Rex Harrison landed. But Lilli is also gracious and without a word of rancor describes the major scandal of Carole Landis' suicide and their ouster from Hollywood--particularly since Rex called Louella ""an alcoholic illiterate."" The marriage stayed together on stage and off for about fifteen years until Kay Kendall, whom Rex then married in the full foreknowledge of her leukemia. Names--her close friend Noel Coward, GBS, the Duke of Windsor, Garbo, Helen Keller--enhance the carefully perpetuated tone--toujours-gai-er than it probably was. Perhaps even generous--to a fault?

Lilli Palmer, the spirited and beautiful stage and film actress who in her middle years became a best-selling author, is dead at 71, it was learned Tuesday. The elegant, always tasteful star of such films as “Body and Soul,” “Cloak and Dagger” and “The Four Poster,” the last with her former husband Rex Harrison, died in her Los Angeles residence on Monday. Her second husband, the former Argentine actor Carlos Thompson, issued a statement through Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, in which he said only that services will be private. No cause of death was given but Victor Ross, Miss Palmer’s brother-in-law, said by telephone from London that he believed that the actress had suffered a heart attack. In many of her American films she was seen as an exotic Viennese vixen, but in truth Miss Palmer was one of three daughters born to a Jewish surgeon and his actress wife in Posen, Germany. And Miss Palmer facetiously credited Adolf Hitler with her success. It was Hitler’s rise to power that forced her father to put her on a train to Paris, where she found herself in cabarets, putting to use the acting and entertaining skills she had learned in Berlin. It was also there that she changed her name from Lillie Peiser to Lilli Palmer. She was appearing at the Moulin Rouge when she was given a letter of introduction to film producer Alexander Korda. “But I was too young and too fat,” the diminutive actress said years later. Korda was not interested. She made brief appearances in obscure British films in the mid-1930s and had achieved some stage successes in the provinces, where she met Harrison in 1939. The following year, she and Harrison appeared in London in “No Time for Comedy” which enjoyed a lengthy run, unlike their marriage. It began in 1943 and ended in divorce in 1957. The marriage produced a son, Carey, and the tempestuous relationship was chronicled--to Harrison’s horror- -in her best-selling autobiography “Change Lobsters and Dance.” The title was a paraphrase of “The Lobster Quadrille” from “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” The book included charges that Harrison had divorced Miss Palmer to marry actress Kay Kendall only because Miss Kendall had a fatal illness. It also discussed how Noel Coward had written a play (“Suite in Three Keys”) for her and of her friendships and friendly banterings with Laurence Olivier, Greta Garbo and George Bernard Shaw. Because of the book’s style and wit, the critics found it more than just the prattlings of an actress, and their reviews helped swell sales to more than 1 million copies in several translations. (She had written the book in German and translated it herself into English.) “I never thought it would interest anyone,” she said after it was published in 1975. “I wasn’t in a concentration camp. I wasn’t violated. I was so lucky. When I got that kick in the behind from Hitler I thought it was the tragedy of my life. But it was the luck of my life.” But later, after the success of three novels, she told an interviewer that she was “a Scheherazade . a born storyteller.” Arrives in Hollywood. In 1945, she accompanied Harrison to Hollywood where he was under contract, and a film they had made together in England as “The Rake’s Progress” was released in this country as “Notorious Gentleman.” Its success put her in demand and she was cast opposite Gary Cooper in “Cloak and Dagger,” a wartime spy thriller about the Office of Strategic Services. She was to make a total of 50 films, among them “My Girl Tisa,” the acclaimed “Body and Soul” in which she and John Garfield gave film-goers a look at the seamy side of boxing; “The Pleasure of His Company” with Fred Astaire in 1961, and “The Four Poster,” for which she won the best actress award at the International Film Festival in Venice, Italy, in 1953. Others included “The Counterfeit Traitor” with William Holden in 1952 and “The Boys From Brazil” with Gregory Peck in 1978. Probably her best known American stage appearance came in 1950 when she played a beguiling young witch opposite Harrison in “Bell, Book and Candle.” She married the Argentine Thompson in 1957 and they had lived quietly on a hilltop near Zurich, Switzerland, where she both wrote and painted for the last 25 years. There were occasional television and stage appearances (including a final TV role in the “Peter the Great” miniseries starting Sunday). But generally she had withdrawn from show business and its demands on her time, and boasted that “in 25 years we haven’t given one party. The kind of life I live excludes friendships.” Thompson encouraged her writing by telling her that “you cannot any longer be an amateur writer. Approach writing as you did acting--single- mindedly.” The advice evidently bore fruit, for when her last novel, “Night Music” was published in 1983, Art Seidenbaum, then book editor for The Times, noted simply: “A writer is at work here.” ISBN 13: 9780025946101. 1.

By way of this examination, literary changes over time become readable, highlighting the speed at which the rhetoric and aims of many immigration narratives became patently anti-America in the twenty- first century, significantly departing from the traditions established in the twentieth century, which, at their core still held pro-America aims. The first chapter, “The Solution is the Problem: Immigrant Narratives of Internment and Detention,” considers nonfiction narratives regarding immigration detention within the borders of the United States.

  • President: Franklin D. Roosevelt in Film
    The Evolving American Presidency Series Series Foreword: The American Presidency touches virtually every aspect of American and world politics. And the presidency has become, for better or worse, the vital center of the American and global political systems. The Framers of the American government would be dismayed at such a result. As invented at the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention in 1787, the Presidency was to have been a part of a government with shared and overlapping powers, embedded within a separation-of-powers system. If there was a vital center, it was the Congress; the Presidency was to be a part, but by no means, the centerpiece of that system. Over time, the presidency has evolved and grown in power, expectations, responsi- bilities, and authority. Wars, crises, depressions, industrialization, all served to add to the power of the presidency. And as the United States grew into a world power, presidential power also grew. As the United States became the world’s leading super- power, the presidency rose in prominence and power, not only in the U.S., but on the world stage. It is the clash between the presidency as invented and the presidency as it has devel- oped that inspired this series. And it is the importance and power of the modern American presidency that makes understanding the office so vital. Like it or not, the American Presidency stands at the vortex of power both within the United States and across the globe. This Palgrave series recognizes that the Presidency is and has been an evolving institu- tion, going from the original constitutional design as a Chief Clerk, to today where the president is the center of the American political constellation.

  • Wer War Lilli Palmer?
    Presse Info Wer war Lilli Palmer? Eine Frau, deren Leben für drei gereicht hätte... Mit 18 Jahren habe ich das Buch „Dicke Lilli - gutes Kind“ aus dem Bücherregal meiner Mutter „stibitzt“ - es war damals ein Bestseller - und es während meiner Ausbildung bei der täglichen Zugfahrt von Olten nach Solothurn gelesen, habe gelacht, gelitten und es geliebt! Ungefähr mit 21 Jahren habe ich das Buch noch einmal gelesen - vielleicht an anderen Stellen gelacht, gelitten und es immer noch geliebt! Wiederum ein paar Jahre später, nämlich mit ungefähr 46 Jahren, habe ich das Buch, mitgenommen in den Urlaub, unter der warmen Sonne von Italien wieder gelesen, habe gelacht, gelitten und es weiterhin geliebt. Und ich habe viel darüber nachgedacht. Ein weiteres Buch von Lilli Palmer, „Der Rote Rabe“, habe ich in der Bibliothek Solothurn ergattert und ebenso verschlungen. Dass das Leben dieser Frau mir immer sehr nahe war, dafür habe ich keine eigentliche Erklärung. Ausser, dass ihr Leben eben kein geraden Verlauf genommen hat, wenn man genau hinschaut. Von aussen hat alles immer gut gepasst, war glattpoliert und hat geglänzt. Verheiratet war sie mit Rex Harrison, einem Superstar in England, USA, weltweit bekannt, ihrem ersten Mann. Bei uns kennt man ihn als „Henry Higgins“ in der Verfilmung von „My fair Lady“ mit Audrey Hepburn oder als „Dr. Doolittle“. Er ging mit Lilli Palmer von London nach Hollywood und war dort ebenfalls ein Star. Später gingen sie beide an den legendären Broadway auf die Bühne. Es gab grosse Skandale, Liebe, Betrug und Leidenschaft, alles immer gut in Glitzer verpackt, um die Fassade zu bewahren.
