Luise Rainer celebrated her 103rd birthday on January 12th. “Though not as well remembered as several of her contemporaries — e.g., Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford — Luise Rainer was a top Hollywood star in the mid-’30s.” Read more about her fascinating career here.

Happy belated birthday dear Luise!
I thank you so much for sending me your autographed photos last year. You are a world treasure in the golden era of film. I wish that I could have met you, me in Miami, Fl, you in the UK. I wish you all the best in health & happiness!
With love & admiration
