Nita Naldi in The Ten Commandments (1923)
Vintage Italian postcard. Ballerini & Fratini, Firenze Ed., 120. Films Paramount. Nita Naldi in The Ten Commandments (Cecil B. deMille, 1923).
With her exotic looks, Nita Naldi (1894-1961) was one of the most famous Hollywood vamps of the 1920s. She notably co-starred with Rudolph Valentino in three movies. Interestingly enough, she also had a leading role in an early Alfred Hitchcock film. About her career, she once wittily declared: "They had ermine tails and paradises in my hair and a couple of snakes coiled around my neck. In real life, believe me, any man of sensibilities would have run 20 miles to get out of my sight".
