Timeline

1902

Believed by some to have been the secret granddaughter of Sissi (Empress Elizabeth), the beautiful consort of Emperor Franz Josef of Austria, Elissa Landi was the younger child of Richard Kühnelt and his wife Caroline. Her stepfather was the Count Zanardi- Landi. She had an elder brother (Anthony Franz Kuehnelt, born November 17, 1902).

1904

Elissa Landi was born in Venice, Italy, on December 6, 1904. From an early age, Elissa wanted to be an actress and a writer. Her acting career started at the Oxford Repertory Company and on London's West End performing with actors such as Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud. She played Desdemona in Othello and appeared in plays with and by Noel Coward (most notably "Blithe Spirit;" in which she forced to enter through the fireplace when the door jammed). She made her London debut in "The Storm," which lasted for five months and for which she received rave reviews for her performances. That in turn led to meaty leads in "Lavendar Ladies" and other plays. European film producers took notice of the photogenic beauty and Elissa starred in eight movies over the next two years.

1928

Her first film was the German-made Synd (1928).

1930

Her career didn't impress critics, though, until she played Anthea Dane in The Price of Things (1930). Elissa felt that she would make more headway in the U. S.

1931

, so she arrived in New York in 1931 to star in the stage version of "A Farewell to Arms.

" Although the play made no huge impression, Hollywood sat up and took notice, and she soon appeared in Body and Soul (1931) opposite Charles Farrell. However, it wasn't until Cecil B.

1932

DeMille's biblical epic The Sign of the Cross (1932) that many moviegoers got their first glimpse of Elissa, and they were enthralled, even though she was among such heavyweight stars as Claudette Colbert, Fredric March, Charles Laughton and Vivian Tobin. Completed in less than eight weeks, the film was a smash hit.

After A Passport to Hell (1932) and Devil's Lottery (1932), Elissa scored again in The Warrior's Husband (1933), a film about the intrigues and intricacies of the old Roman Empire that starred Marjorie Rambeau and Ernest Truex.

1934

In 1934 Elissa co-starred with Robert Donat in the classic The Count of Monte Cristo (1934).

1935

The next year saw Elissa as Lisa Robbia, a world class singer (singing voice dubbed by Nina Koshetz) in Enter Madame! (1935) with Cary Grant, the era's greatest leading man. In Cary Grant's biography, he mentions seeing Elissa on a typewriter, pursuing her other passion of writing, between takes throughout the filming process.

1936

After a mediocre role in Mad Holiday (1936), Elissa had a better part as the tormented Selma Landis in the hit After the Thin Man (1936), the second film in the series.

1943

She appeared in only three movies after that, the last being the low-budget Corregidor (1943) for bottom-of-the-barrel Producers Releasing Corporation. When that picture was completed, Elissa left films behind and concentrated on writing, producing six novels and books of poetry. After Hollywood she concentrated on Broadway, regional theatre, and summer stock near Kingston NY, where she lived with her husband, Curtis Thomas, and their daughter.

1944

Elissa Landi's only child, her daughter Caroline Maude Landi Thomas, was born on December 11, 1944. She was only four years old when her mother died of cancer.
