Colette Brettel

Colette Brettel , nee Dorothy Nicolette Pettigrew , (born June 1, 1902 in London , † late 1973 in Sheffield , Yorkshire , United Kingdom ) was an English actress .

Life

Brettel began her film career in England, where she played her first role in the literary film adaptation of Wuthering Heights (German: Sturmhöhe ) based on a novel by Emily Brontë in 1920 . While filming the drama Race for Happiness , she met the actor Ernest Winar , whom she married on June 15, 1923. In the following years she switched to German film. In the review of the film Who are not allowed to marry , the critic Martin Beheim-Schwarzbach counted her among the good cast of the film.

Not knowing the German language sufficiently, Colette Brettel returned to England after the start of the sound film era, where she died in the last quarter of 1973.
