Attractive German leading lady of the 1920's, the daughter of a pianist and conductor. She began as a singer and pianist herself, before being discovered for the screen in 1919. She tended to specialise in playing elegant socialites or ladies of noble birth in romantic melodramas and comedies during the silent era. Her career declined in talking pictures and she was banned from performing during the Nazi period because of her half-Jewish ancestry.
