Live and act
Nothing is known about Eberhard Leithoff's career and any theatrical work before his film debut, and there are no permanent engagements before the start of his extensive film work in 1924. In the approximately one and a half decades of his intensive work in front of the camera (from 1924 to 1939) Leithoff played small to medium-sized supporting roles, right at the beginning of his career even as a partner of the veritable stars Henny Porten and Friedrich Kayßler in Countess Donelli , a side work of the young up-and-coming director GW Pabst .
In 1925 he married Liliana Amon . In 1927 Eberhard Leithoff was twice film partner of the Austrian silent film diva Magda Sonja , in the period films of her husband Friedrich Feher , Mata Hari and Maria Stuart . In the following decade he was seen at the side of the two biggest box office magnets of their time: Hans Albers ( gold and under hot skies ) and Heinz Rühmann ( loud lies and hurray! I'm dad! ). During the Second World War, Eberhard Leithoff only stepped in front of a film camera once; at the end of the war in 1945 his trace is lost.
