Who came to America first, Ernst Lubitsch or Pola Negri?
Lubitsch came first, arriving in America on Christmas Eve of 1921 to direct Mary Pickfords film Rosita (1923), a beautifully-composed, European-style costume filmand an excellent picture, regardless of what Americas Sweetheart would have you to believe. Pola came next on September 12, 1922, having just signed a contract with Paramount.
