Leonie Duval

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leonie Duval , born in Hedwig Duschke , (born February 3, 1883 or 1888 ; † January 29, 1950 in Berlin ) was a German stage actress with a few excursions to film.

Live and act

The native Hedwig Duschke received an acting training in Hamburg in the first decade of the 20th century, then performed in Flensburg and was engaged at the Deutsches Theater in Hanover from 1911 to 1916. This was followed by obligations that took her again to venues in Hamburg and Hanover. In 1927/28 the artist went on a major tour of South America, which she a. a. led to Buenos Aires. There Duval also appeared as a director. In 1931, after returning from South America, she took on a renewed commitment to Hanover before she worked as a freelance artist in Berlin for many years. Leonie Duval hardly belonged to a permanent ensemble.

In the film, where she was seen mainly in the peace years of the Third Reich, Leonie Duval often embodied maternal types and simple women from the people, for example a shopkeeper in the “Wilhelmine” comedy The Muzzle , a piano teacher in the marriage and milieu study Life can be so beautiful , a specialist saleswoman in the Horney Gottschalk romance. A woman like you and, finally, a waitress in a family connection . After a commitment to a Hamburg guest performance director in 1943/44, the actress received almost only offers from Berlin radio in the early post-war period. Duval's last years of life were marked by illness.

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ The obituaries each state an age of death of 67 years and therefore refer to the year of birth 1883. Duval's Reichsfilmkammerakte, however, specifies February 3, 1888 as the date of birth
