Jenny Jugo (born June 14, 1904 in Mürzzuschlag , Austria-Hungary , as Eugenie Walter ; † September 30, 2001 in Königsdorf , Germany ) was an Austrian actress .
Life
Jenny Jugo moved to Graz as a five-year-old and first attended elementary school here and later the monastery school. At the age of 16 she married the actor Emo Jugo and followed him to Berlin in 1922. This is how Jenny Jugo got her last name, but the marriage only lasted a year. In 1924 she received a contract with UFA and, as an unskilled actress, played a number of leading roles in silent films , for example in the Carl Sternheim film Die Hose in 1927 and in the Franco-German co-production Casanova by Alexander Wolkow . However, she only received acting lessons when the sound film began. The comedian Jugo played the leading female roles in the 1930s, especially in the films by director Erich Engel . With Joseph Goebbels , who as Reich Propaganda Minister was closely involved in the film industry, and with his family she was close friends during this time, as Goebbels' diaries show.
Jugo worked in numerous films until the end of the Second World War , but then withdrew to her estate, the Jägerhof in Schwaighofen near Königsdorf. After 1945 she made only three films, including the rubble film Königskinder by Helmut Käutner . In May 1950 she made her last public appearance.
In 1971 she received the gold film tape for many years of outstanding work in German film.
After a treatment error in the institute of the Munich alternative practitioner Manfred Köhnlechner in 1975, she was dependent on a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Despite the renewed media interest, she declined to be available for interviews or to be photographed. She never left her estate with a view of the Alps again.
Jugo was married to the actor Friedrich Benfer for many years . Due to their relationship with the film producer Eberhard Klagemann , the couple separated in 1941. The divorce did not take place until 1957, when Benfer found a new partner. In old age, Benfer married Jugo again, only to finally separate from her in 1992.
Jenny Jugo was buried in the St. Peter cemetery in Graz .
