Leny Marenbach also became known to the cinema audience when she starred in three films alongside Heinz Rühmann . The twenty or twenty-one year old is in If we were all angels and The model husband is his wife, in Five million looking for an heir she will be. The couple also had a personal relationship. In 1940 she played alongside Hans Söhnker in Helmut Käutner's comedy Frau nach Maß . Later she took on roles in quite different films, which she showed as a nurse in Error of the Heart or as a single mother in How do we tell our children .
In her roles, she was particularly convincing due to her naturalness and thus particularly enthused audiences in the films of the 1930s and 1940s.
Their popularity waned after the Second World War. Leny Marenbach occasionally received film roles at DEFA and played theater, especially in Berlin. She was briefly married to the cameraman Walter Pindter and had a son with him.
