Lina Basquette was the raven-haired dancer and actress best remembered as the leading lady in Cecil B. DeMille's final silent film "The Godless Girl."
With many marriages and more storied affairs, Miss Basquette enjoyed recalling in her later years how she fended off Adolf Hitler with a sharp knee to the groin and an assertion that her grandfather was Jewish.
