1930s ‘Girl of Today’ Ursula Grabley (1908-1977) was a German actress who appeared in more than 60 films and TV productions. In 1939 her film career was interrupted by a dispute with Joseph Goebbels.
Oskar Karlweis (1894- 1956) was an Austrian stage and film actor, who was at the peak of his popularity in operettas and comedies in Munich, Berlin and Vienna during the 1920s. Especially with the operettas by Johann Strauss Sohn, such as Die Fledermaus and Wiener Blut, he had great success. During the early 1930s, he also appeared in several popular films, most notably as one of Lillian Harvey’s suitors in Die Drei von der Tankstelle/The Three from the Filling Station (1930). Due to the Nazi persecution of Jews, he was forced to leave Austria after the 1938 ‘Anschluss’, eventually resettling in the U.S. where he appeared on Broadway and in occasional films and television productions.
