Life
Born in Thuringia, she left a convent school at the age of 16 to take acting lessons from the well-known dance and acting teacher Rudolf von Laban and also trained as a singer (voice: mezzo-soprano ). At the same time Ali Ghito studied medicine and psychology up to the Physikum. She married an architect named Schlag and had a daughter who was 19 at the end of the war in 1945.
During her student days, she appeared in various pieces such as Brecht's The Threepenny Opera and Shakespeare's Was ihr wollt . Finally, the light blonde young woman went to Berlin and was trained by the silent film star Asta Nielsen . Ali Ghito made his first permanent theater engagement in Stendal in 1930 , followed by engagements in the capital. Ali Ghito preferred to be the salon lady .
In 1931, the 26-year-old artist started a career in the German capital with a tiny appearance in a Reinhold Schünzel film that ended with the Second World War . She was given a leading role for the first time in her second film, where Ali Ghito played one of the eight girls in the boat . From 1934 to 1936 she stayed abroad. Due to a lack of film offers, Ali Ghito mostly worked as a nurse and interpreter for the Wehrmacht High Command during the Second World War .
In the 1940s she was married to the director of Dresdner Bank Schmidt-Branden, from whom she was also divorced. At the end of the war in 1945, Ali Ghito retired from acting. In December 1946 she married the writer Hans Habe , who began a relationship with the film actress Eloise Hardt almost at the same time . The marriage therefore quickly turned into a marital war. Habe divorced in Mexico in 1948 and married Eloise Hardt. Since the divorce was not final, Ali Ghito accused him of bigamy and had compromising details about their marriage published in Stern . Their marriage was not finally divorced until 1953. After that, Ali Ghito disappeared from the public eye.
In the USA
According to a newspaper report in the Taos News from July 7, 1966, Ali Ghito was brought to the American radio station in Europe at the end of the war on behalf of the US headquarters of General Eisenhower and used as a spokeswoman for "psychological warfare". The ex-actress later moved to the United States and finally settled in Arroyo Seco, New Mexico , in 1956 . Ali Ghito began to work there as a painter, language teacher (for German) and lecturer. She died on April 29, 1983 at Holy Cross Hospital in Taos.
