She married Rex Harrison and acted on stage in New York with him. She had one child Carey Harrison. At age 46 she married a second husband and remained married until she died. Carey Harrison was a writer. He is still alive.

I remember in her autobiography Dicke Lilli - gutes Kind (fat Lilli good child - she introduced like this as a child) in this book she said her daddy was a doctor and in school she was not allowed to play Virgin Mary in a Christmas school play cause she was Jewish and she was hurt especially because Mary was Jewish too. Later in her marriage with Rex Harrison, she let him go so he could marry Kay Kendall who was terminally ill and in love with Rex. And in later years she married Argentine German actor Carlos Thompson a lot younger than herself. They were very happy until Lilli got cancer and passed away. Carlos was so devastated that he committed suicide then.

This is one of my favourites of Tom Wall's movies, many of which were stage farces, which didn't transpose well to the screen. Interesting how grotesque wealth and philanthropy were popular topics in the 1930s, although the obscenely rich nowadays are better camouflaged, and live well away from those they exploit.

@@greggi47 In mid 1930s Italy Catholics were that influential, but they certainly were not in mid 1930s America, where Protestant preachers who had the moral power in America at that time when most of the population still lived in small towns and farms, denounced moving pictures from the pulpit, from the excesses of the silent era through the early talkies. Many people of any faith or no faith felt movies were going too far by the mid 1930s, running well ahead of what society was prepared to handle, with young viewers acting out what they saw as glamorous and exciting on the screen, from getting drunk on illegal booze and sleeping around, to drugs and thrill murder, which ended up in lurid copy in the equally out of control media, making celebrities out of the criminal and the debauched. All vices were on display as what everybody who was up to date was doing. The pendulum was swinging back toward conservatism (including passing Prohibition), until the public were fed up with the results of that and it swung again toward liberalism, and today it is back to conservatism with people posting how wonderful it is to watch a (censored) movie with no swearing, gore, or nudity (which was not true of many Pre Code movies), and most of us will live to see it swing again to preferring Pre Code.

Three men rob a millionaire of diamonds aboard an airliner in flight. When Police Superintendent Benting tries to intervene, Jack Drake, another passenger, knocks him out to save him from being shot. The thieves force the pilot to land so they can dump the passengers. However, the men find the diamonds have already been stolen by someone else (Drake). Drake is a sort of modern-day Robin Hood. He donates the proceeds of his latest robbery to fund the stalled construction of the "New Social Institute". He even writes a book, "Crackerjack": The true story of my exploits., which becomes a bestseller. Everybody is reading it, including the people at Scotland Yard and Baroness Von Haltz, and wondering if it is fact or fiction. The baroness tells her maid Annie that certain passages somehow remind her of Drake, who broke her heart. By coincidence, she is residing in the same hotel as Drake. He goes to see her, but she does not forgive him for leaving her without a word in Berlin. He explains that he was forced to leave suddenly, but she is not mollified. Meanwhile, Drake instructs Burdge, his secretary, to send a cheque for £10,000 to the Buckingham Hospital for a new wing, even though Burdge informs him he is overdrawn at the bank. Drake tells him that the wealthy Mrs. Humbold's pearls will provide ample funds. The Humbolds are hosting a masquerade ball that night, and the baroness will be there. At the ball, part of the entertainment is a group called the "Four Gangsters", who have been tied up and replaced by a gang of real gangsters, the same thieves from the aeroplane caper. Sculpie, their leader, kills an unarmed man who foolishly tries to resist. Afterward, however, Sculpie is furious to learn that the pearls he took from Mrs. Humbold are fakes. Once again, Drake has the real ones. An advertisement in the newspaper asking for Crackerjack's help intrigues Drake. He arranges to meet the person in trouble, who turns out to be the baroness, although he speaks with her indirectly, not face to face. She asks him to retrieve letters being used as blackmail by Hambro Golding. Drake is especially interested when she informs him that the letters prevent her from marrying. He promises to attend to the matter the next night. Unaware that Golding is actually a member of Sculpie's gang, she innocently informs him that Crackerjack will try to burgle his safe for the non-existent letters (Golding told her that Crackerjack had stolen his ring, a family heirloom). Sculpie is delighted. However, when the baroness returns for her forgotten handbag, she overhears the gang discussing Crackerjack's fate. Suspecting that Drake is Crackerjack, she tries to stop him by making a dinner engagement with him, but when he does not show up at the appointed time, she makes Burdge take her to Golding's place. Drake is caught, but manages to turn the tables on the gang. He has also arranged for the police to raid the house as well. Drake gets away and flies off with the baroness to get married.
