ELLEN RICHTER
This year’s biggest retrospective of Le giornate del Cinema Muto,
the Pordenone Silent Film Festival, is dedicated to the Austrian-Jewish
actress and producer Ellen Richter (1891-1969), a versatile star of
Weimar cinema whose enormous popularity was international in scope.
During the mid-1910s, Richter caused a sensation as a leading lady in
action films. Sadly a large percentage of her films are lost and her
name is today almost forgotten, but thanks to the determination of
scholars Oliver Hanley and Philipp Stiasny, a number of gems have been
discovered in German, Russian, Dutch, and French archives. READ AND SEE MUCH MORE AT https://filmstarpostcards.blogspot.com/2009/08/ellen-richter.html
We learned about her back in my film class at NYU.
