On the death of Oscar winning actress Luise Rainer. She died at 104 years
By Barbara Möller
The Oscar was a sensation. Luise Rainer had seen in the theatrical revue “The Great Ziegfeld” Hardly 20 minutes. Not every critic was thrilled. In the “New York Times” admitted that he had “Miss Rainer” had indeed once again uses the attribute charming, but tend unfortunately “too emotional states of emergency, which sometimes seem out of place and sometimes very hard.”
And then the Best Actress in 1937. Irene Dunne and Carole Lombard -. suspended. And it got even better. The following year, already suggested “the new Garbo” again. 1938 Luise Rainer won the second Oscar for her starring role in Sidney Franklin Perl S. Buck movie “The Good Earth”. A German plays in Hollywood a Chinese peasant woman and is decorated for the main prize – oh, America, land of the unlimited possibilities! This included that Louis B. Mayer, who had taken the girl from Duesseldorf 1935 personally MGM contract, the biography of his star a bit retouched. In Hollywood, it changed its name as an Austrian, seemed Mayer against the background of what is for two years happening in Germany, opportune. And the Oscars gave him right.
Luise Rainer, born in 1910 which had become against the will of her father, a Jewish businessman, actress (she called him “tyrannical”, he described it as a “whore”), was engaged in 1931 by Max Reinhardt at the Vienna-Josefstadt Theater in 1932 and filmed her first movie. The musical comedy “202 Lives”, together with Magda Schneider. After the third Hollywood called. However, Rainer’s career came to a halt after the two Oscars. Although they continued to play leading roles – such as the ostrich biopic “The Great Waltz” – but the films were not well received by the audience. Rainer saw the cause of failure is that it was set to a certain type of girl. That her actor and screenwriter Clifford Odets, whom she had married in 1937 also in speaking in the career, did not make things better. 1938 Luise Rainer announced their contract. Studio bo ss Louis B. Mayer was furious. He called his ex-favorite actress afterwards: “We have created you, we will destroy you!” Luise Rainer is said to have replied: “Twenty years from now you are dead, but I’m going to be a famous actress!” So it was not. Luise Rainer turned in 1943 her last American film (“Hostages”), then she moved to London back.
Fellini persuaded them to make a comeback, but when Rainer realized that she was provided in “La Dolce Vita” for a bed scene with Marcello Mastroianni, she left Cinecittà horrified and rushed. To date, Luise Rainer is the only German actress who won an Oscar for Best Actress. In Los Angeles they have been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. As Berlin 2011 finally followed suit with a star on the boulevard of stars, commented Rainer with the words: “How nice that you have not forgotten me in Germany.” Yesterday she died after a short illness in London.
