Hilde Jary

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hilde Jary , born in Hildegard Ilse Charlotte Kroener , (born August 22, 1899 in Berlin ; died January 15, 1989 in Lugano , Switzerland ) was a German actress with a short career until 1933.

Live and act

Hildegard Kroener's career was limited exclusively to the time of the Weimar Republic . Jary had already played on small stages before she got a small role in the 1925 silent film O Old Boy Glory. She then found a permanent position at the Württemberg Volksbühne in Stuttgart in the 1925/26 season. This was followed by a multi-year commitment to the Bremen theater (from 1926 to 1930). Hilde Jary's last permanent engagement was in the 1930/31 season at the Leipziger Schauspielhaus. With the marriage to the theater director Detlef Sierck (1934) Hilde Jary withdrew from the stage work. Her Jewish origins made it impossible to continue working from 1933 and also led to the fact that the new rulers began to put pressure on her husband, who switched to film in 1934. In order not to continue to expose themselves to this situation, Detlef and Hilde Sierck decided to emigrate at the end of 1937. While her husband would later make a career in Hollywood, Hilde Jary / Sierck limited himself to the job of a housewife. Both spouses spent their twilight years in Lugano, Switzerland, where Hilde Jary outlived her husband by two years almost to the day. A few years earlier (1983) the couple had been portrayed by Swiss director Daniel Schmid in the documentary Mirage de la vie .
