Carmen Cartellieri , born Franziska Ottilia Cartellieri ; married Carmen number von Teschenbruck (born June 28, 1891 in Proßnitz in Moravia , † October 17, 1953 in Vienna ) was an Austrian actress and film producer .
Life
The engineering daughter Franziska Ottilia Cartellieri, who grew up in Innsbruck and had a daughter since the beginning of 1910, had until 1918 as a housewife at the side of her husband, the chemist, painter, railway official, engineer, inventor and short-term film director Emanuel Zahl Edler von Teschenbruck in the Hungarian province lived. Given that Italian silent film actresses such as Francesca Bertini or Lyda Borelli were the epitome of celebrated screen divas at the time, she claimed for many years that she was born in Milan in order to make her own biography more interesting .
In the last year of the war, 1918, Cartellieri joined the film industry in Budapest without any artistic experience. The Tyrolean director Cornelius Hintner , whom she met by chance, was her sponsor from the start. At first she played in his Hungarian productions, but moved to Vienna with her husband and Hintner at the end of 1919 as a result of the political upheavals in post-revolutionary Hungary. In the same year Hintner made her Austrian debut under the pseudonym Carmen Teschen in his film Anjula, the Gypsy Girl .
In the next eight years Cartellieri took part in an abundance of silent film productions, predominantly dramas and melodramas, and more rarely comedies. In February 1920 she founded her own production company, Cartellierifilm Ges.mbH. Initially, at the beginning of the 1920s, Carmen Cartellieri was given leading roles in her husband's productions, often self-produced (1921/22). Soon, however, she had to be content with larger supporting roles. Her attractiveness, praised by contemporaries, earned her several prizes and honors (e.g. “Most Beautiful Viennese Actress” and the Vienna Fashion Prize ) at the same time (1921–1923) .
In later years she was allowed to embody not only cheerful and carefree characters, but also repeatedly dramatic and ambivalent characters. From her overall artistically rather modest oeuvre , only the expressionist classic of the fantastic cinema Orlac's hands , staged by Robert Wiene , stands out, in which she embodied Regine. In the following year (1925) Wiene also brought her for his opera adaptation Der Rosenkavalier and gave her the supporting supporting role of Annina. In the 1920s, Carmen Cartellieri also appeared again and again on stage, including at the Ronacher . In 1926 she was seen in the pantomime The Death Ring .
Immediately before the age of talkies - her last film role was the important part of the historically documented figure of Countess Marie Louise von Larisch-Wallersee, who was drawn as a schemer in the Mayerling drama The Fate of those von Habsburg - Carmen Cartellieri's career ended abruptly and she withdrew completely back into private life.
