Elisabeth Bergner
Vintage postcard, no. 3950. Photo: Atelier Geiringer & Horovitz (Trude Geiringer & Dora Horovitz), Wien. Bergner wears the fur coat from the final scene in her film Fräulein Else.
The profoundly sensitive acting of Austrian- British actress Elisabeth Bergner (1897-1986) influenced the German cinema of the 1920s and 1930s. She specialized in a bisexual type that she portrayed in Der Geiger von Florenz and in other film and stage roles. Nazism forced her to go into exile, but she worked successfully in the West End and on Broadway.
