Annemarie Sörensen (born December 19, 1913 in Ober-Gerlachsheim , Lauban County , Province of Silesia , † December 1993 in Reading , Berkshire , England ) was a German actress .

Life

The daughter of the Silesian manor owner Waldemar Sörensen and his wife Helene left her girls' boarding school in Weimar at the age of 17 and went to Berlin to become a film actress. After unsuccessful efforts, she returned to her parents until, with another application, now with the support of her parents, she got her first small role in the film The Battle of Bathing Mouth in 1931 .

In 1932 she had a much more important role in the film adaptation of the opera The Bartered Bride , where, as partner of Paul Kemp , she also gave a vocal performance with the song “Alles geht am Schnürchen”. She stood next to Heinz Rühmann in front of the camera three times, in Heinz im Mond , So ein Flagel and Wer dar dar - wins .

The last-mentioned film, shot in 1934, came to the cinema with some delay, in July 1935. Several artists disapproved by the regime had contributed to the making. As early as the winter of 1934/35 the Protestant Annemarie Sörensen (in registration entries in Vienna she stated "ev. Luth" in the category 'Religion') had considerable difficulties with the Nazi Reich Chamber of Culture due to unexplained 'racial' origins, as it was called. The artist then left the Reich and began traveling through Europe in the spring of 1935. Stays in Budapest , Marienbad , Stockholm and Paris are documented .

In May 1936 Annemarie Sörensen stayed in London for the first time , on test shots for the Dumas film adaptation, The Black Tulip, which did not materialize . After stops in Salzburg and Vienna (September 1936), the artist left Austria and went back to Paris. In August 1938 she married the British John AA Henderson in London-Marylebone, who died a little later, in World War II .

Her second marriage was to the seven-year-old London banker Michael Arthur Colefax. It was supposed to be the last news about the former film actress Annemarie Sörensen, who had withdrawn into private life since her first marriage. The ex-actress outlived her second husband, with whom she had settled in Berkshire as Anne Marie Colefax, by four years.
