Hungarian-born Lili Darvas (pronounced 'Darvash') was a major star first in Budapest, then on the German stage with Max Reinhardt's theatre company during the 1920s, touring Europe with plays by Goethe, Shakespeare, Tolstoy and Shaw.
She received her education at the Budapest Lyceum and made her acting debut at the age of 20 as Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet".In 1926, she married playwright Ferenc Molnár who wrote several plays for her, including "Olympia" and "Delilah".
The following year she made her Broadway debut as Titania in "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The union was childless but happy, and lasted until Molnar's death in 1952.Lili was of Jewish background and was forced to flee Europe after the German annexation of Austria in 1938, using her Hungarian passport to escape to Switzerland.
Later, on the advice of actor Walter Slezak, she hired a tutor to perfect her English language skills. Although she was known for her fine acting range she never lost her Hungarian accent which limited her to playing women of continental background.
In 1944, she became an American citizen.In the course of the succeeding three decades she enjoyed many a success on the New York stage, including a starring role in "Waltz of the Toreadors" (1958) and as Sigmund Freud's domineering mother Amalie in "The Far Country" (1961).
She was nominated for a Tony Award in one of her last roles as Best Supporting or Featured Actress in Lorraine Hansberry's "Les Blancs".On screen, she appeared in the big budget MGM musical Meet Me in Las Vegas (1956).
Following her husband's death in 1952, Lili acted increasingly in radio and early television anthology drama. On television, she was best-known for her role as the grandmother of the character played by Bill Mumy in "Long Distance Call", an episode of the iconic television series The Twilight Zone (1959).
