Inge van der Straaten
Inge van der Straaten (actually: Hildegard Ganz , born December 31, 1897 in Dresden , † October 20, 1950 in Berlin ) was a German actress.
Life
Erich Kästner describes in his book When I Was a Little Boy the sequence of the theater performances that Hilde Gans gave as a little girl in front of an audience of four people - her mother, her older sister, Kästner and his mother - the only role that leads she played in front of a larger audience, the dwarf nose and claims that she was never known.
Other sources refute this statement. There are, however, many inconsistencies. In the Internet Movie Database, for example, the birth name Sanz is given instead of Gans , while elsewhere the rather unlikely statement is made that Hilde Gans was born in Berlin - and was only born in 1898.
In any case, the early start of their career can be considered relatively safe. After coming into contact with ballet through a gymnastics teacher, she allegedly performed at the Dresden Opera at the age of four, later got engagements at various German-speaking stages and went on tour abroad with an operetta troupe. It does not seem certain whether she actually made a film in Sumatra . In any case, in the 1930s she lived and worked in Berlin; Among other things, she directed the Kurfürstendammtheater for several years and also directed. From 1938 she also took on film roles. She preferred comic roles.
