Away From Set

Olga Limburg Played the Woman Next Door for Fifty Years. Four German States Went Past Her

She was in front of a camera in 1907 and still in front of one in 1957 — aunts, neighbours, housekeepers, forty-nine films. A supporting career is the only kind long enough to be a record of the industry it happened inside, and hers runs straight through the part of German film history that is hardest to write about.
