1905 - 2001

Jenny Jugo got a three-year contract from the Ufa in1924 and played in "Die Puppe vom Lunapark" (24), "Der Turm des Schweigens" (25), "Die gefundene Braut" (25),"Blitzzug der Liebe" (25) and "Liebe macht blind" (25).

After that she was lent to the Phoebus where she shot some of her most successful pictures like "Schiff in Not" (25), "Casanova" (27), "Pique Dame" (27) and "Die Hose" (27).

When the era of silent movies was over and the sound film demanded a new acting talent and especially a very clear pronunciation, Jenny Jugo took play lessons for the first time. In the next years she acted in less important movies like "Kopfüber ins Glück" (30), "Wer nimmt die Liebe ernst? (31) and "Die nackte Wahrheit" (31).

In 1932 began a constant cooperation with director Erich Engel who knew how to put her comedian talent into action. They shot among others the movies "Fünf von der Jazzband" (32), "Pygmalion" (35), "Mädchenjahre einer Königin" (36), "Gefährliches Spiel" (37), "Nanette" (39) and "Viel Lärm um Nixi" (41).
In these movies she could establish an acting style which was described as "just naturalness".

In the next years she played in the productions "Die Gattin" (43), "Träum' nicht, Anette" (49) and "Königskinder" (49), thereafter she retired from the movie business.
