Has anyone ever heard of this one-name celeb?
Self | 1/21/'13 | Zionist Conspirator

Posted on 01/21/2013 12:14:37 PM PST by Zionist Conspirator

I bought my first World Almanac in the last week of December 1970 (I have bought one each year since then). I was fascinatined by the miscellaneous facts and statistics. One section I enjoyed was the "celebrities" section, giving the birth place and birth years of famous people in the entertainment business. Of course, there were many listed in this section I had never heard of.

One of my major discoveries was the "one-name celebrities." I had never heard of such a thing before. But here they were--Annabella, Cantinflas, Dagmar, Fabian, Fernandel, Genevieve, Hildegarde, and Margo. Who were these people?

Since then I have learned who all these people were (they're mostly gone now). But one mysterious name is still utterly unknown to me. I can't find it in Wikipedia or the Internet Movie Database, and any name that isn't on one of those two lists must have been a very strange kind of celebrity.

The name was listed as "Lili." To the side it had in parentheses "Liliane Lewin." The only information was that she was born in France in 1925. That was all.

As I said, I can't find a "Liliane Lewin" or "Lili" in either of the two major online celebrity references. I did an Internet search and turned up plenty of hits, but they appear to be referring to currently living non-celebrities on Facebook of Linked In. So I am at a complete and total loss.

Does anyone out there recall a celebrity of any kind named Liliane Lewin, born in France in 1925, who went by the name of "Lili?"

Thanks!

PS: Please don't refer me to the MGM movie Lili starring Leslie Caron. That's not the subject.

Maybe Liliane Bettencourt, wealthiest woman in Europe circa 2010, who gave $1Bil to François-Marie Banier (French novelist, actor, gigilo, photographer, etc) with anybody named Lewin she chose???

Cantinflas was an actor...the only film I know of was “Around the world in eighty days”

Fabian was a teen idol in the 60s!!

As David Niven’s valet/travel companion character “Pas Partou” the troubleshooter/causer.

Names from a more decent time, when the “play was the thing” and not the personage. People had to know how to do things... not just suck up to some political machine.

I mean really, Lady Gaga-— the queer’s number one choice is the headline at obamaomau’s white house (the male queers who really hate women— love lady gg and madonna-— sort of like the cult following of Anne Bancroft— the “tough” look-— what a peculiar psychology and then they try to dress up to look like them— sorry, day ranting about reduced culture). I didn’t live then, but surely do miss Carmen Miranda.

I used to love the Zygi comic panel. Was I guilty of schadenfreude?

First name that came to mind was Fabio.

Can’t seem to place the 1925 born Lili.

Dagmar was actually quite...ahem...memorable
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Dagmar definitely ‘made a point’.

Didn’t she ‘start’ with Jerry Lester and a running gag was with bean bags?
Then she went out on her own.

She was the type that young lads would sneak down the stairs to get a peak at and if they ‘messed up’ and she made it on ‘prime time’ the younguns would get sent to their rooms.

Remember the ‘Legion of Decency’? I never did get to see “From Here to Eternity” till in my 30’s....to young when it came out (ala Legion of Decency)....
