Camilla Horn

Camilla Horn

Born 1903 in Germany, Camilla appeared in 66 films from 1921 to 1988. In 1925 she was a double for the legs of Lil Dagover (we will see Lil one of these days) in F.W. Murnau's "Tartüff". Murnau's eye fell on her and in 1926 he gave her the part of Gretchen "Faust". This role made her famous at once. She was signed by United Artists and boss Joseph M. Schenck himself took care of her career and wanted to marry her. She was able to make several successful Hollywood movies, mostly playing vamps. In "Tempest" (1928) and in "Eternal Love" (1929) she starred with John Barrymore. Throughout her career she made films in the U.S. France, England and Germany. She died in 1996.
