And, here is our final featured Dead Lady who you’ll get to know at Sunday’s show, thanks to our darling DLS co-founder, educator and translator !

🎬LOTTE EISNER (1896–1983) was a Berlin-born writer, film critic, archivist and curator. She fled the N***s for Paris in 1933 but was interned in 1940 along with other Jewish and German women. Don’t worry – she escaped the camp and helped preserve banned films hidden in a freezing-cold chateau. After liberation she became Chief Curator at the Cinémathèque Française, continuing her work of collecting, saving and curating films, costumes, set designs, artwork, cameras and scripts. She might be most famous for her influential book on Expressionism in German cinema, The Haunted Screen. In later life she mentored various movie dudes, who were utterly dedicated to her in a weirdly egotistical way. She was awarded the Chevalier de l’Ordre National de la Légion d’honneur and the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.

Here’s the first featured Dead Lady for Sunday’s show!

Born in Hamburg, ANDREA MANGA BELL (1902–1985) was the daughter of a white German mother and a Black Cuban father, a classical pianist. After her marriage failed, she was a single parent to two children, working as a magazine editor and illustrator in Berlin and also translating from French to German. She and the kids joined her lover, the writer Joseph Roth, in French emigration to escape the N***s. Whereupon he pi**ed up her inheritance and she left him, moving to Paris and living partly in hiding. After the war, her Cameroonian husband showed up again, then ended up killing their son in an argument. Andrea Manga Bell campaigned for his trial, but it never happened. Despite her heartbreak, she fed James Baldwin a hot meal every day while he was living in Paris. From 1954 until her death, she worked for the United Restitution Organisation, helping former victims of N***sm to make claims.

🚨New episode alert!! 🎨Eileen Agar was the sort of artist who looked at a hat and thought, What if it grew feathers, sprouted seashells, and started whispering secrets to strangers? Born in Buenos Aires and raised in Britain, Agar was a painter, collagist and sculptor with a delicious taste for the absurd. She danced on the edges of Surrealism—sometimes elbowing her way in, sometimes pirouetting just out of reach—and exhibited alongside the likes of Dalí and Ernst, though she never let their mustaches overshadow her own wildly imaginative vision. DLS co-founder brings us her story - find it at the link in bio and wherever you like to listen!
