Signe Hasso(1915-2002)

Signe Hasso related her Hollywood bound journey to the USA was very difficult with the impending Nazi war actions in the early 1940's. Signe Hasso departed Sweden traveling by Siberian Railroad across Russia, into China, sailing from Singapore to San Francisco, then traveling by train to Los Angeles, where she met with RKO studio chiefs discussing film roles. Signe reported the entire trip took six months in reaching the United States because of travel restrictions, passport problems, and the unstable military undercurrent encountered because threats of the Nazi regime affected all of Asia.
