Steffi Duna (February 8, 1910 – April 22, 1992), Hungarian-born film actress, vintage, 8 x 10 glossy photograph as Serafina Perena in the 1936 film "Dancing Pirate." Dated 1936.
When she first came to Hollywood in 1932, Duna could not speak a word of English. She made up her mind to learn quickly. Directors advised her to stay away from her Hungarian friends to speed up her learning of English. Within a few years she could speak six different languages. During the 1930s Duna played a variety of nationalities. However, despite her European background, she was often cast as fiery Latin femme fatales in films that made full use of her exotic and glamorous persona, such as 'La Cucaracha' (1934) the first live-action short film made in three-strip Technicolor.
Front shows original artist 'touch-up' and crop markings. Minor chip and tear to bottom margin. Verso bears original handwritten ID and date. In good condition aside from a small tear to the lower edge.
