Manja Tzatschewa (or Tzwetta Tzatschewa ) was an actress who may have come from Bulgaria or Austria-Hungary . She appeared mainly as a supporting actress in German silent films .

Life dates

Under Manja the film portal writes as dates of birth January 27, 1893, Lemberg, Austria-Hungary (now Lviv, Ukraine) and the year of death 1966. In Tzwetta is that she was born on December 27, 1900 Peshtera in Bulgaria and died on the 12th December 1975 in France. It is not known whether they are the same person (or possibly sisters). Presumably, both death statements are wrong, as the Austrian Arbeiter-Zeitung wrote in an article about forgotten film actors on August 15, 1931 that Tzacheva had already died at that time.

Life

She made her film debut in 1917 in Rudolf Meinert's Die dying Perlen . Then she played under Lupu Pick , Richard Oswald and Ewald André Dupont . In 1920/21 Tzacheva could be seen in several Manfred Noa films. She had her first leading role in 1921 in The Pearl of the Orient by Karl Heinz Martin . In addition to some commercially successful series films such as Georg Jacoby's The Man Without a Name (1921), the title character she played in Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's film Marizza, known as the Smuggler Madonna (1921), is her most important role. However, the film is lost.

Her last proven role had Tzacheva in 1926 in Hans Steinhoff's tragic comedy The Tragedy of a Lost .
