Pola Negri, a Polish silent film star who was the first European actress invited to Hollywood. 
She was as well known for her love affairs as for her screen roles. When Rudolph Valentino died suddenly in 1926, her histrionics at his funeral proved too much for the public and she was never taken seriously again. She died on August 1, 1987 aged 93. Or 90. Or maybe 88. A mystery.
