Elisabeth Bergner (22 August 1897 – 12 May 1986) was a German language film and stage actress who acted in Germany until moving to England to escape the Nazi threat to the Jews. Joseph L. Mankiewicz's classic film All About Eve was reportedly based on her own experience of employing a young female admirer who then tries to upstage her.
She was born Elisabeth Ettel in Drohobych, Austro-Hungarian Empire (present-day Ukraine) to Anna Rosa (née Wagner) and Emil Ettel, a merchant. She grew up in a secular Jewish home. The Hebrew she heard in her childhood was associated with Yom Kippur and Pesach, and on her visits to Israel she apologized for not knowing the language.
She first acted onstage at age 14, and appeared in Innsbruck a year later. In Vienna at age 16, she toured Austrian and German provinces with a Shakespearean company. She worked as an artist's model, posing for sculptor Wilhelm Lehmbruck, who fell in love with her. She eventually moved to Munich and later Berlin.
As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599 and first published in the First Folio, 1623. The play's first performance is uncertain, though a performance at Wilton House in 1603 has been suggested as a possibility. As You Like It follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden. In the forest, they encounter a variety of memorable characters, notably the melancholy traveller Jaques who speaks many of Shakespeare's most famous speeches (such as "All the world's a stage" and "A fool! A fool! I met a fool in the forest"). Jaques provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play, always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country. Historically, critical response has varied, with some critics finding the work of lesser quality than other Shakespearean works and some finding the play a work of great merit.

Artur Schnitzlers „Fräulein Else" wird hier von Elisabeth Bergner, die diese Rolle auch im Stummfilm (1929) verkörpert hat, in einer gekürzten Fassung ganz einzigartig und unnachahmlich in ihrer so subtilen, und virtuosen Art und Weise dargestellt,. Ganz großes Theater, reduziert auf einen Monolog von fesselnder Plastizität.

A duke usurps his brother's land and power, banishing him and his retinue into the forest of Arden. The banished duke's daughter, Rosalind, remains with her cousin Celia. She has fallen in love with Orlando, but he has his own tyrannical brother to contend with, so he joins those in the forest. Rosalind, now banished, disguises herself as a young man, with Celia as her servant, and follows Orlando into the forest. There, nature stirs love's fires in various rustics as well as in those from the court. Phebe, a shepherdess loved by Silvius, is herself smitten with the disguised Rosalind. Can true love find a way, and can brothers be reconciled and harmony restored? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0027311/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

"Catherine the Great" (also titled "The Rise of Catherine the Great") is a 1934 British historical film based on the play The Czarina by Lajos Biró and Melchior Lengyel, about the rise to power of Catherine the Great. It was directed by Paul Czinner, and stars Elisabeth Bergner as Catherine, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. as Grand Duke Peter, Dorothy Hale as Countess Olga, and Flora Robson as Empress Elizabeth. This historical drama recounts the events that led to the accession of Catherine the Great, Empress of all the Russias.

"Little Catherine" is to marry the Grand Duke Peter, ne...

In 1980 Elisabeth Schwarzkopf the renowned operatic and lieder soprano gave a Series of Public Masterclasses in the Freemasons' Hall Edinburgh, Scotland, during the Edinburgh International Festival, one year following her retirement in 1979. Here we have songs by Schubert and Hugo Wolf. The Edinburgh Series began with an Introduction Part 1, followed by Parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 are in My Videos. Schwarzkopf chose six gifted young singers from nearly two hundred ! Contains clips of Schwarzkopf singing lieder on film. Roger Vignoles is the piano accompanist. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf 1915-2006. Without a doubt one of the great sopranos of the second half of the 20th Century---always striving for the best in herself and in other singers. ENJOY!
