* Lette Valeska (1885-1985) was a German-American photographer, sculptor and painter. Practicing photography since the age of 12 years old, Valeska emigrated to Los Angeles in 1938, on the suggestion of her childhood friend, artist Galka Scheyer. By the 1940s she had become well known as an outstanding photographer of children and went on to find success in the Hollywood community as a portrait photographer. Later, she took up painting at age 50 and sculpting at age 70.
