Hello Cine.cure!
Are you sure your second link refers to Lydia Plawan?
Sometimes DP’s from Europe would change their name after settling in the USA, Canada, etc. But I don’t think this was the case here.
I found an obituary for her daughter Lora Plawan which mentions Lydia Plawan:
Larysa LEVYCKY Obituary (2022) - Tcn, BC - Richmond News
She spent her early years in a German WWII POW camp and her formative years in displaced person camps in Heidenau, Harburg and Hannover, Germany with her mother Lydia (Lidia) her younger brother Walter, and her stepfather Dmitro (Dymitro). After the war, her mother divorced in Germany and their family emigrated to Toronto, Canada in 1952.
In Canada, she became a dancer for the Royal Ballet of Canada and then furthered her career with the Thornton Model Agency. Thereafter, her mother Lydia passed away and Lora emigrated to Los Angeles, California, where she met her future husband Oleg Levycky.
Lydia, Lora and Walery (Walter) Plawan:
Thank you carola.b for your notice and the data you found and shared!
The link was an obvious mistake from my side - I should have noticed by myself - so I removed the link. My apologies about this.
