La Jana

La Jana

The actress La Jana was born in 1905 Vienna. She began her career in childhood with ballet troupe of the Frankfurter Opera. Later she worked in cabarets and revues, appearing primarily as a dancer. La Jana made her film debut in 1925 and made about 25 films, mostly in dancing roles, and as the pictures indicate, wearing exotic costumes. She died prematurely in 1940 due to pneumonia and pleurisy which she caught during a Christmas tour in 1939.


La Jana - What do you think? Allure?

In the turban shot she looks like a double to the short haired blonde in the old Star Trek series. The second photo is soo different it is hard to tell that it is the same person. Wonder what the puppet on her shoulder was meant to imply, if anything.

I think she is very alluring. If
you doubt it there is a sequence
on youtube of her dancing (I think
it is still there) and she is so
beautiful. I had not heard of her
6 months ago. I think those 2
pictures you have of her are
beautiful.
