Beatrice Triangi , née Samek, before 1919 temporarily Beatrice Cita Albano Antonia Reichsgräfin Triangi, from and to Latsch and Madernburg, Baroness von Maderno Riedhorst, Baroness von Tyrol, Trientine noble lady, short form Reichsgräfin Triangi (born May 6, 1868 in Brno ; † 28. April 1940 in Vienna ) was a Viennese city original from the interwar period.
Life
The daughter of the silk manufacturer Jakob Samek and his wife Sophia appear in the birth register of the Brno synagogue as Antoinette Beatrice Samek. Her first marriage was in 1887 with the manufacturer Rindskopf. After the separation (1894) she converted to Catholicism and called herself Riedhorst. Another short marriage connected them 1897–99 with the Bulgarian merchant Ivan Dragulow. To do this, she had to convert to the Orthodox Church. In 1903 she finally became a Protestant AB in order to be able to marry the editor of the "Austro-Hungarian Works Official Newspaper" Albano Hugo Josef Reichsgraf Triangi.
Only after the death of her husband (1926) did "the Triangi" appear publicly as a singer, dancer, flute and harmonica player. During this time she portrayed Christian Schad in the portrait "Triglion" (1926). Her appearances in cabarets, cabarets and suburban bars were not without involuntary comedy, but according to press reports she is also said to have offered quite remarkable achievements. In early 1940, the Triangi was in Gestapo custody for about three weeks. She died shortly afterwards in the sanatorium at Am Steinhof.
Her daughter was engaged as a singer at the Dresden State Opera in the 1930s. Triangi's nephew, Victor Oliver von Samek , was also an artist. Working under the name Vic Oliver, BBC radio comedian and actor of the 1930s and 40s, was married to Winston Churchill 's daughter Sarah Millicent Hermione Churchill from 1936 to 1945. Family members of the Samek family live in Vienna.
