Camilla Horn was a German actress, soundtrack artist, and stunt performer born in Frankfurt am Main, Hesse, Germany in 1903. She initially trained as a dressmaker and received her first job experience in a fashion salon in Erfurt. This was a stepping stone for a performing career which began with dance lessons in Berlin and subsequent acting studies under Lucie Höflich. She was soon employed as an extra at Ufa, where she was spotted by the director F.W. Murnau, who cast her as Gretchen in his seminal production of Faust: Eine deutsche Volkssage (1926). This role catapulted her to instant stardom and she was signed by United Artists in Hollywood. With the coming of sound, she returned to Europe and appeared in a variety of films, including Hans in allen Gassen (1930) and Der letzte Walzer (1934). During this tumultuous decade, she conducted a lengthy affair with the singer Louis Graveure. After her luxury villa in Berlin was ransacked in search for non-existent clues, she kept a low profile and even tried her hand at farming. After the war, she had a stint as an interpreter for the occupying U.S. forces in Germany. She made a successful return to the stage in a 1948 Frankfurt production of Jean Cocteau's "L'Aigle a Deux Tetes" (aka 'The Eagle Has Two Heads'). In 1974, she was awarded the 'Filmband in Gold' (also known as 'Lola') for lifetime achievement in the German film industry. In her 1985 autobiography, "Verliebt in die Liebe" ('In Love with Love'), she happily recounted her marriages and liaisons.

Biography/Timeline

1925

The daughter of a civil servant, Horn was educated as a dressmaker and worked at Erfurt. In 1925, together with Marlene Dietrich, she worked as an extra in the German film Madame Doesn't Want Any Children, and later she was seen in a musical review by Director Alexander Korda. She made her great breakthrough in 1926, when she replaced Lillian Gish as "Gretchen" in F. W. Murnau's UFA production of Faust.

1928

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

1930

From 1930 until her retirement in 1953, she remained a screen favorite in German, British, and Italian films, and late in life, she was invited to make her screen comeback, in the 1987's Schloss Konigswald. She spent her old age at Herrsching, and died at Gilching near Starnberg, where she had lived during the last year of her life.

1972

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".
