Lilly Flohr

Lilly Flohr (born Elisabeth Günsburger;[1] 15 October 1893 – 7 July 1978) was an Austrian stage and film actress and singer who worked in the German film industry during the silent era.

She grew up in an artistic environment due to her father being a musician, actor, and painter.

Günsburger made her stage debut at the Raimund Theater in Vienna at 8 years old, and trained at the Imperial Conservatory.

[3] Günsburger took on the stage name Lilly Flohr, and made her film debut in A Song of Hate and Love (1918), followed by Die Erbin (1918), and The Girl from Acker Street (1920).

In 1934, Flohr was banned from performing in Germany due to her Jewish identity.
