Hilde Hildebrand

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emma Minna Hilde Hildebrand (born September 10, 1897 in Hanover , † May 27, 1976 in Berlin - Grunewald ) was a German theater and film actress .

Life

Training and revue appearances

Hildebrand, daughter of fitter Julius Christian Hildebrand and his wife Luise née Weinrich, was accepted into the ballet at the Hoftheater Hannover at the age of eight and in the ballet ensemble of the Residenztheater in 1913. She made her theatrical debut in 1914 after training to be an actor and took on various roles under the name Emmy Hildebrand.

After the First World War , Hilde Hildebrand, as she was now called, developed into a celebrated revue star. It caused a sensation on the Berlin theaters in the late 1920s. In the Nelson Revues It rang and Something for You appeared in classically ironic numbers. Her smug tone in ironic self-distance was captured on shellac with her partner Gustaf Gründgens in the duet "Oh God, how are we noble" from the Künneke operetta Liselott .

Movie

After a few unimportant silent film roles, she was finally able to bring her talent to bear in the cinema when the sound film emerged. She celebrated her greatest successes in the sound film of the thirties. In Viktor and Viktoria , Allotria , Bel Ami and Amphitryon - Happiness Comes from the Clouds , she demonstrated her artistic ability as a character actress. Hilde Hildebrand embodied the type of sophisticated lady who charmed young men at five o'clock tea and embarrassed them with frivolous seductive skills. Mostly she lost the gentleman to a young girl, as in The English Marriage or Jenny and the Gentleman in Tailcoat. Hilde Hildebrand always carried it calmly. Ingenious nuances were her strength, which was aimed more at the connoisseur than at the amusing audience. It was erotic, but never vulgar.

The grave of Hilde Hildebrand in the Heerstrasse cemetery in Berlin-Westend

Her vocal performances and chansons played a decisive role in her film appearances. Peter Kreuder , Theo Mackeben , Leo Leux , Michael Jary and Franz Doelle wrote elegant chansons for the artist. For most of the recordings, Hilde Hildebrand did without a large sound film orchestra and instead secured the participation of the small ensemble “ Die Goldene Sieben ”. With a subtle sense of humor, she was able to interpret lively tunes in songs such as “Come on, play with me blind man's cow” and “The first time it hurts”, but her strengths were the soft and tenderly lascivious tones that she used with her rough voice Brought blades. “Love is a secret”, “My heart is homesick” and “The phone went off at night” were characteristic titles.

Late work

After the war Hildebrand continued to work as a stage artist. Her appearances in The Mad of Chaillot and The Visit of the Old Lady are unforgettable . She also appeared in many television films.

On May 27, 1976, Hilde Hildebrand was found dead in her apartment in Berlin-Grunewald . She was 78 years old. Her grave is in the Heerstrasse cemetery in Berlin-Westend (grave location: 6-E-12).
