Mistress of producer Joseph M. Schenck. (1928)

Between April 1972 and February 1973 a song was written about her by the then-unsigned Bruce Springsteen. This still-unreleased song surfaced in the 1990s on a bootleg, "Early Years".

In 1928 she sailed for Hollywood, where she played opposite John Barrymore in Tempest and Eternal Love.

She starred in several Hollywood films of the late 1920s and in a few British and Italian productions.

She made her great breakthrough in 1926, when she replaced Lillian Gish as "Gretchen" in F. W. Murnau's UFA production of Faust.

In 1925, together with Marlene Dietrich, she worked as an extra in the German film Madame Wants No Children, and later she was seen in a musical review by director Alexander Korda.

In the 1930s refused to follow the official line of the Nazis and was prosecuted for a monetary offense.

After the war the British tribunal at Delmenhorst convicted her for minor offenses (among them travelling without permission) and she was imprisoned for three months at the women's prison in Vechta.
