Found in one of my secret trunks, black and white portraits of divas of the Roaring Twenties. These portraits were published as postcards manufactured in France. On the back, messages written in exotic languages, Turkish, Serbian, Arabic, Russian. A recipient in particular makes me dream: a postcard sent to Astra Djidjian, Ile des Princes - Proti Constantinople. For you, I intend to publish on my Diva's series. Let's start with the gorgeous actrice Brigitte HELM

Brigitte Eva Gisela Schittenhelm (born March 17, 1908, Berlin, Germany – died June 11, 1996, Ascona, Switzerland) was a German actress, best-remembered for her dual role as Maria and her double, the Maschinenmensch, in Fritz Lang's 1927 masterpiece silent film, Metropolis. Helm was still a teenager when she essayed the role. After Metropolis, which was her second film, Helm made over 30 other films, including talking pictures, before retiring in 1936.Her other appearances film include The Love of Jeanne Ney (1927), Alraune (1928), L'Argent (1928), Gloria (1931), The Blue Danube (1932), L'Atlantide (1932), and Gold (1934). In 1935, angered by Nazi control of the German film industry, she moved to Switzerland where she later had 4 children with her second husband Dr. Hugo von Kuenheim, an industrialist. After her retirement from films she refused to grant any interviews concerning her film career. Source Wikipedia.
