Actress. She was first successful in a Berlin Burlesque playing the role of a genuine Berlin girl. Her true artistic talent came out in a satirical political revue in the bar "Roland von Berlin" in 1907 and in the "Unter den Linden" bar where she was the chief attraction for years. Recordings followed. The peak of her fame was in the 1920s. For the whole of Germany she became the very symbol of Berlin. During the Nazi Regime she wasn't allowed to perform any longer. So she retired in 1936 to upper Bavaria (Bad Reichenhall) and performed only occasionally.
