Live and act
Born in Berlin, she began her artistic career at the age of 18 at the German Art Theater . Later Borodin also appeared at the Schiller Theater and the Prussian State Theaters. During the silent film era, the actress appeared in front of the camera and played supporting roles in productions by Fred Sauer and Louis Ralph . After a series of early sound films, including EA Dupont's Atlantik , an early, ambitious disaster film , the seizure of power by the National Socialists suddenly ended her career in Berlin. Elfriede Borodin then moved to the Sudetenland and continued her stage work at the city theater of Aussig . When this region was annexed by the Nazis in 1938, Elfriede Borodin fled to the United States.
There Elfriede Borodin was entrusted with tiny supporting roles in some Hollywood films in the early stages of World War II , in which she could be seen alongside stars like Boris Karloff , Bela Lugosi , Spencer Tracy , Katharine Hepburn , Joan Crawford and John Wayne . Soon afterwards she married the American citizen Jack T. Silver and retired with him as Elfriede Silver to Arizona into private life.
