Leda Gys, from a 1917 publication.
Giselda Lombardi, better known by her screen name Leda Gys (March 10, 1892 – October 2, 1957), was an Italian film actress of the silent era. The poet Carlo Alberto Salustri gave the aspiring actress her new name and introduced her to the film business in 1913. Her breakthrough role came in the epic Christus, which was shot in Palestine and Egypt. She then married the producer Gustavo Lombardo and worked for his Naples-based Lombardo Films, generally appearing in comedies that were often directed by Eugenio Perego.[1]
