=== Later life === [[File:TIMEMagazine30Jul1923.jpg|thumb|''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' cover, 30 July 1923]] Duse suffered from ill health (largely [[Lung|pulmonary]]) throughout most of her adult life, and the many years of touring had taken their toll. She retired from acting in 1909, but returned to the stage in 1921 in a series of engagements in both Europe and America.<ref>{{cite glbtq.com | article-url=http://www.glbtq.com/arts/duse_e.html | article=Duse, Eleonora (1859β1924) | last=Spitsberg | first=Tija | date=3 June 2008 | orig-year=2002 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141205061918/http://www.glbtq.com/arts/duse_e.html | archive-date=2014-12-05}}</ref> During this interval, in 1916, she made one film, ''[[Cenere]]'' ("Ashes"), prints of which still survive. She was very disappointed in her work in the film, and later wrote to the French singer [[Yvette Guilbert]] with the request not to see "that stupid thing, because you'll find nothing, or almost nothing, of me in that film". There was also a certain amount of professional correspondence between Duse and [[D. W. Griffith]], though ultimately nothing came of this. On 30 July 1923, Duse became the first woman (and Italian) to be featured on the cover of the nascent magazine ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]''.
