Sigrid and Gary Cooper (as Marco Polo) -- a publicity shot on the cover of Hollywood Magazine. |
(1938) |

Publicity spread for the film (fairly typical spread for that time period). |

 |
The casting for this film was unusual (to put it mildly). For example, Gary Cooper (playing Marco Polo) was certainly not young, nor credibly Italian. But even more strange was for Goldwyn to have cast Sigrid (who was Norwegian) as a Chinese girl! -- the Princess Kukachin (daughter of Kubla Kahn). |

Very artsy shot of Sigrid (the Norwegian Chinese Princess) blowing out a candle. |

Sigrid is shown in this photo at bottom left. In her second movie, she played Ines (pronounced like "Inez"), an Algerian native girl, the jilted lover who turns Pepe le Moko (Charles Boyer) in rather than let him make good on his promise to the lovely French girl (Hedy Lamarr) to whom he said, "Let me take you from the Casbah." |

Sigrid is at bottom right, with John Wayne. The film is about a Austrian doctor (Charles Coburn) and his daughter (Sigrid), fleeing Nazi takeover of Austria, who are "sponsored" as immigrants by a Dust Bowl town -- with John Wayne as the mayor. The townspeople eventually migrate to Oregon. Last frame of the movie has Sigrid and John Wayne getting married under a big tree. |
(also known as The Refugee) |

This was a strange sort of low-budget picture, but many of the reviews say that it has sort of a cult following and that it was interesting, compelling, etc. Sigrid may have done some of her best work in this one -- but it's been lost for many years. (No prints existing that anyone knows about.) | A Voice in the Wind (1944) |
