Cheers and flirtatious, charming and natural , Jenny Jugo was an actress very popular in the early 30s, in a succession of very pleasant comedy, often sung. One that was even compared to Charles Chaplin in his time, and whose films were so popular in France (the mother of a friend remembers very well to have seen with pleasure during the occupation) has yet sunk into oblivion total and voluntary. An exhibition held in Berlin's film, carefully preserved by the former star has brought to light the name of this actress whose career spanned over 25 years.
Born in 1904 to an engineer father, Jenny Jugo married very young (16 years) escape her strict family and his school of nuns. With her husband, she went to Berlin where
she was spotted at a party by Ben Blumenthal, producer at Paramount, who suggested he come from him with his friend Erich Pommer. Impressed by the charm and photogenic of the unknown, the renowned producer UFA, the most prestigious German film studio, offered him a contract for 3 years. Jenny will follow up with small roles in several silent films, almost all disappeared, alongside stars such prestigious qu'Emmil Jannings and Conrad Veidt.
Only 1927 that the actress has finally noticed: His candor, his natural comic talent and collect very favorable reviews in Pants Hans Behrendt (Polish director who will die tragically, a victim of Nazi persecution), a satirical film that has occurred by chance the test of time. It is likely that this sudden access to either bring awareness of the connection that the actress, recently divorced, has with Ernst Hugo Correll, the new producer of UFA.
He has planned for his sweetheart contracts in gold, with very favorable terms (his name should appear twice as big as its partners in the credits films ...) and the key films
prestigious as the Queen of Spades by Pushkin and Casanova Volkov, shot in France. Rococo production, both extravagant and unconventional, fascinating in its excess. Carmen de San Pauli (exhumed at a recent festival in Pordenone), remains in spite of the cuts by the censors, a beautiful film about love crazy and forfeiture of a man destroyed by passion.
Jenny Jugo, became a star of first magnitude appears in all film magazines in France (mirror film, cinema magazine ..). Without having a sex appeal pest or exceptional beauty, Jenny Jugo has unquestionably that little something that attracts the attention and that distinguishes it from other actresses of the silent: a "kind" optimistic and cheerful. To ensure its passage talkies and singing, Jenny Jugo with no theatrical experience, took lessons in diction. It is found especially in the German version of the musical French Chacun sa chance Heinz Steinhoff. It is the director Erich Engels, former collaborator of Brecht which will develop the character and make Jugo, relatively
kept a Chaplin in petticoats as highlight the contemporary press. Frankly, the talent of actress Jenny Jugo were not likely to overshadow the genius of Charlie Chaplin, but his charm unprimed young woman working classes differed because of the stars of the era, glamorous: the spectators could easily identify with it. Among the biggest hit of the actress under the direction of Engels we note 5 of the jazz band, endearing comedy about the lives of 5 children of the economic crisis that try to escape by standing together. Although Jenny Jugo has often confessed that she could not sing, she connects to the movies this time are almost all music, the European public is very fond of operettas in the early 30s. Also, in a fun song for you (1933), the Polish tenor ja n Kiepura endorsing all tunes as Louis Graveure monopolizes all the choruses of My only love.
In 1933, while many
filmmakers and artists fleeing Nazi Germany (some like Paul Abraham, composer of operettas films which included the actress will never find success abroad) Jenny Jugo contained his career without a hitch: no murmur you one that she is one of many mistresses of the Director of the Goebbels propaganda and Hitler himself, who is very generous with his favorite actress: it offers a villa near Wiesbaden, jewelry , an airplane, two cars, three horses ... In exchange, the fair would have shot short films with rogues stripteases reserved for the personal use of the Fuehrer! It is unknown if these films have survived ribald or remain buried in some private collection! It goes without saying that the actress was not in love with the dictator, much less that it was nicknamed Goebbels the sewer rat. However, if these allegations are true, she used the power of these two monsters by giving them favors which is equally repugnant.
While Nazism rapidly invades the world of cinema, one is surprised that Jenny Jugo toured Germany in an adaptation of Shaw's Pygmalion (fairly bo nne
invoice incidentally) and the life Queen Victoria - Her Majesty married (also excludes all anti-British propaganda "which is rare enough ment to be noticed). On occasion, Jenny Jugo is also shown convincingly in dramas such as Gefährliches spiel
(1937) whose subject is strongly reminiscent of Miss Else, already adapted to the screen by Paul Czinner.
During the war, French cinemas were invaded by the German films that are far from full house! Jenny Jugo is one of the few actresses of German films to attract viewers in French cinemas (as Nanette whose main song "I love you" will be a success at the time) as well as Zarah Leander and Marika Rökk. Besides, the actress will be sent to Paris for publicity (and propaganda) by Goebbels. "Malison and aging," she was received with great fanfare by Cecile Sorel and Michel Simon. In Bulgaria, the star is also dispatched by the authorities in tour advertising: Overwhelming him
will also reserved.
young teacher Jenny (1940) is an absolutely charming comedy of Erich Engels, with a perfect sense of timing and in a stunning Jenny math teacher who wants to keep its independence from a male entourage. Again curiously his character contrasts with the image of the submissive wife and victim, which lowers his head, often conveyed by the Nazi cinema.
In 1945, Jenny Jugo starts shooting a film very inspired Hollywood comedy Tom Dick and Harry will be completed after war: Like Ginger Rogers, she dreams to each of her suitors ...
With the support of her new husband, producer Klagemann, Jenny Jugo is still running two films for DEFA studio under the control of the Soviet authorities. But the actress is on the decline. The shooting of an Italian film is interrupted in 1950 due to lack of capital: Jenny Jugo never returned to the screen. Victim in 1975 of a medical error it passes the last years of his life
wheelchair. Given his disability, the actress will refuse any interview, biography or television appearance. Consecutively, the star will sink into oblivion faster than his former colleagues in the UFA and his death at the ripe old age of 97 years will pass unnoticed. Meticulously, the star of the 30s with his care had kept the toilet from his films and numerous documents: a considerable treasure for cinephiles. These objects have been the subject of an exhibition at the Berlin Film Museum.
