Forgotten Hollywood: gorgeous Lisette Verea - from the Alhambra Theater to Hollywood
On august 27th 1914, in Buchrest, Romania, Lisette Verea was born, daughter of Hainerik Chaim Veksler Verea and Olga Veksler Verea.
She makes her debut on stage at the age of only 13 at the Majestic Theater in Bucharest. Her good looks and amazing singing voice helped her reach popularity very quickly, and in almost no time she became one of the major stars of The Alhambra, staring in operetta, vaudeville and cabaret.
To understand the context, The Alhambra was the highest rated showplace in Romania. It was a true, american style, star factory, all thanks to the owner, Mr. Nicolae Vlădoianu. Right from the start of this business, 1931, he never kept back from financing the shows: operetta, cabaret, fashion etc, no mather how expensive or extravagant they were, he gave full financial support.
