The American film debut of Rose Stradner. An Austrian by birth, she was a stage and film actress in Europe before escaping the Nazi takeover of Austria in 1936. Louis B. Mayer brought her to Hollywood, but her marriage to Joseph L. Mankiewicz in 1939 essentially put her career on hold. She appeared in only two more films, Blind Alley (1939) and The Keys of the Kingdom (1944), and on TV in Reign of Terror (1953). Stresses in her marriage led to alcoholism and depression, and to suicide in 1958.
