Life

In 1936, German Fox chose Carmen Lahrmann to dub Shirley Temple's film roles. In 1937 she played the title role in the film "Monika - a mother fights for her child" by Heinz Helbig with Maria Andergast . The attempt by the National Socialists to build it up as the German Shirley Temple, however, failed. She sang Shirley Temple's songs in German for Deutsche Grammophon . After the Second World War she worked in other professions, including working in Berlin for the US airline Pan Am . She also trained as an educator. Her comeback attempt in the mid-1950s failed.
