Thunder in the City gives her opportunity to demonstrate that these qualities photograph extremely well. She is currently established in Hollywood with three Afghan hounds. Divorced wife of the late Baron Godfried Hohenberg, Luli Deste once understudied Elizabeth Bergner in The Last of Mrs. Cheyney, ran a rug-weaving concern in London before she started in European cinema a year ago.
