Sylvia Ulback (6 April 1881 - 2 March 1975), known as Sylvia of Hollywood, was an early Hollywood fitness guru.〔Addison, Heather. ''Hollywood and the Rise of Physical Culture'' (2003) Routledge, New York & London, p 41.〕 Between 1926 and 1932, "Madame Sylvia", as she was also known, specialised in keeping movie stars camera-ready〔Yeaman, Elizabeth, "Sylvia's Clever Hands Aid Stars To Keep Slender", ''Hollywood Daily Citizen'', 17 September 1930.〕〔"With Movie Stars In Hollywood", ''Spartanburg Herald-Journal'', 20 September 1930, p.5〕〔e.g. Shaffer, Rosalind. "Pola Negri Is Back With New Personality", ''Chicago Daily Tribune'', 8 November 1931, p F12.〕 through stringent massage, diet and exercise.
==Early life==
Sylvia was born Symnove Johanne Waaler〔"MME. WAALER A BRIDE.; Radio Broadcaster Wed In Berkshires to Edward Leiter, Actor." ''New York Times'' 6 July 1932.〕 (or Wilhelmsen)〔"Sylvia, Beauty Advisor, Weds", ''Los Angeles Times'', 6 July 1932.〕 in Oslo (then Kristiania) to Amelia Wilhelmsen, an opera singer 〔"Madame Sylvia of Hollywood Brings Spirit of Movieland to Manhattan", ''Bismarck Tribune'', 2 February 1933.〕 and artist Oscar Waaler〔"Sylvia, Beauty Advisor, Weds", ''Los Angeles Times'', 6 July 1932.〕〔Certificate of Death, State of California-Department of Public Health.〕 Forbidden to be a doctor by her parents, Sylvia went into nursing at 16. Having studied massage, she opened an office in Bremen, Germany when she was 18 years old. Sylvia and her first husband Andrew Ulback, a lumber dealer came to America - first New York then to Chicago - in 1921/22 after her husband lost his business in the war.
In 1926, Sylvia, her husband and two sons relocated to Hollywood, ostensibly for Andrew's health.〔Ober Peak, Mayme. "Famous Hollywood Masseuse Reveals Secrets of the Stars", ''The Hartford Courant'', 7 June 1931, p D2.〕〔"Sylvia, Beauty Advisor, Weds", ''Los Angeles Times'', 6 July 1932.〕 (N.B. Sylvia eschewed the use of her surname Ulback, hence its various spelling in contemporary references as Ulbeck,〔"Famous Masseuse Denies She Has Offended Stars", ''Photoplay'', June 1932.〕〔Bird, Carol "Are American Women Becoming Gaunt Gazelles? Dieting Ruining Women's Health Declares Sylvia", ''Lodi News-Sentinel'', 12 August 1936.〕 Ullback〔"Sylvia Gossips About Filmdom", ''Los Angeles Times'', 1 November 1931, p B16.〕 and Ulvert 〔"Sylvia Weds Stage Actor", ''Reno Evening Gazette'', 5 July 1932.〕)
