Viola Garden

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Viola Garden , born as Jolanthe Maria Ida Kehle (born February 28, 1902 in Vienna , † February 24, 1993 in Vornbach , Federal Republic of Germany ) was an Austrian silent film actress in German film in the late 1920s.

Life

Nothing is currently known about the early years of the native Viennese. Jolanthe Kehle was discovered for the film in Berlin and was first brought in front of the camera at the age of 25. She made her debut at the side of the young actor Heinz Rühmann, who at that time was still largely unknown and almost the same age, in a production by Kurt Bernhardt . In the following two years she made comedies and romances, dramas and heavy-blooded literary adaptations - a total of seven films. The best known was Fedor Ozep's Tolstoy adaptation The Living Corpse . After her role as Olga Lossen in the industrial drama Sprengbagger 1010 , Viola Garden married the director of this film, Carl Ludwig Achaz-Duisberg (1889–1958), son of a very wealthy industrialist, and withdrew into private life immediately before the dawn of the sound film age. From then on she called herself Jolanthe Duisberg. The couple became parents to their sons Constantin and Sven, born in the 1930s. Carl Ludwig and Jolanthe Duisberg lived until the end at Schloss Vornbach near Passau and were socially and culturally committed to their home community, which the widow made an honorary citizen in 1962.
