Lya Lys (18 May 1908 – 2 June 1986) was an German-born actress.
Critic Ado Kyrou wrote of Ava Gardner’s Pandora in the 1951 film Pandora and the Flying Dutchman, “Ava now belonged in the exclusive pantheon with Lya Lys of Dalí and Buñuel’s L’Age d’Ore ‘as the greatest surrealistic woman in the history of film’.”
