Without the hat brim, I'd have trouble distinguishing between her hair and the substance on her hat. What's it made of? Nice photo however mysterious,
I assume it's feathers - ostrich plumes, perhaps?
That's a pretty low neckline too, was that common for this era?

Great photo. Do you know if she is dressed as Eliza Doolittle here?

I've never heard The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain” in German. ;-)

Hi, Ian!  I don't think this one is associated with her portrayal of Eliza.  I have never seen the German translation either, but it must be interesting!  Of course, Pygmalion hadn't yet become a musical when Tante Poldi starred in it.

My parents took her to see My Fair Lady in the early 60s in NYC.  She spoke little English, but it didn't take her long to recognize it as her part!

What a beautiful woman!  All the photos you added to her profile are lovely.  I particularly liked the one taken in 1961, where she looked natural, lovely, and happy.  Thank you for sharing this and all the other photographs you added to her profile.
