LIL DAGOVER-GERMAN SILENT FILM STAR

Lil Dagover German Actress with chow - Version 3

Lil Dagover was a German stage, film and television actress whose career spanned nearly six decades.  I feel extremely fortunate to own all 4 of these images in my own collection. It is rare to find a single photo of an actress with their chow, much less finding multipe images of multiple dogs.
