Live and act

Born in Budapest, she came to Germany at a young age and began a short-lived film career in Munich when she was 19. In the following four years she played a number of supporting roles and leading roles in Bavarian productions, among others at the side of the film debutante Heinz Rühmann (in the melodrama Das deutsche Mutterherz ). Finally, Ellen Kürti went to Berlin, where from 1927/28 until the end of the silent film era she received leading roles in mostly less important productions - with the exception of Richard Oswald's ambitious political staging, Feme . As early as 1928, after a tiny role in a Henny Porten film, her career came to an end and Ellen Kürti disappeared from the public eye.
