German character actress and cabaret performer, associated in the 1920's with the satirist and author Kurt Tucholsky. Prolific on stage in Berlin, she was especially noted for being in the cast of the original production of Brecht's "Threepenny Opera" in August 1928. Her career diminished during the NS period, though she made a comeback after World War II as member and co-founder of the Berlin cabaret 'Außenseitern' (Outsiders).
