step as an extra in the filmbusiness before she was engaged by comedian
Ottchen Mücke as a sweet partner for his serial.
She shot her first real feature film in 1923 in Harry
Piel's "Abenteuer einer Nacht". After that she lived with relatives
in New York for the next two years, her film career was interrupted in
this time.
After her return it was again Harry Piel who offered her a bigger part
in his movie "Abenteuer im Nachtexpress" (25). The way for a great film
career was paved. Sie played in crime films, comedies and folk plays.

exotic beauty moulded definitely. She used her charisma successfully in
