Lenore Aubert
Lenore Aubert (born April 18, 1913 , as Eleonore Maria Leisner in Cilli , Austria-Hungary , † July 31, 1993 in Long Island City , New York City ) was an American actress of Austrian origin.
She was the daughter of Dr. Oskar Leisner, a regimental doctor and from 1917 General Staff Doctor of the Austrian Army and Thea Leisner, née Weingarten. The registry of the parish Sankt Daniel in Cilli states Ringstrasse 8 as the birth address.
As a young woman, Leisner moved from Styria to Vienna to take acting lessons against her parents' wishes .
At first she was only given jobs as an extra in films. From the mid-1930s she got engagements at the Theater an der Wien . When Ernst Lubitsch traveled to Vienna at the end of 1937 for background shots for his film Bluebeard's Eighth Wife , the 19-year-old was chosen by a Hollywood film team to stand in for Claudette Colbert , who had stayed in the USA.
Eleonore Altmann fled the country with her husband Julius Altmann as a result of the annexation of Austria in 1938 and went to the USA via the exile stations in Paris, Portugal and Spain . In New York she found employment as a photo model and at Samuel Goldwyn Pictures as a film actress . Goldwyn gave her the French-sounding stage name Lenore Aubert . In the film “They Got Me Covered” she worked with personalities such as Bob Hope and Otto Preminger , who was also from Austria .
The marriage to Julius Altman was divorced in 1956. She was married to Milton Greene from 1959 until the divorce in 1974.
Despite a not inconsiderable list of film roles (see filmography), she was unable to achieve a major breakthrough in her career. In 1950 she left Hollywood and made one film each in Germany and France in quick succession. She lived in Europe until 1959.
From 1979 she was active in charities and culture in New York at a branch of the United Nations and at the American Museum of Natural History .
Many details of her life and filmmaking came to light in 1987 through an interview with Jim McPherson in the Toronto Sun newspaper .
