Silent screen legend Pola Negri was born on this day in 1897. After retiring from pictures, Negri lived her remaining years in San Antonio, Texas, with her companion, Texan heiress and composer, Margaret West. Negri maintained her flamboyant persona to the end of her life and was often compared to Norma Desmond, the character role she had famously turned down. Negri died in 1987 and left the bulk of her estate to St. Mary's University.
