Beautiful blonde with smooth lines, Camilla Horn were probably among the most beautiful faces of the silent cinema. Her performance in Faust Murnau's masterpiece would have to open the paths of international fame and all hopes were permitted. However, after a fruitless trip to Hollywood, the beautiful star has continued without making a song his career in Germany. The innocent and fragile heroine of the silent in the meantime had turned into a vamp cold and calculating, seeded in passing a few songs sung-spoken in more or less musical melodramas, distilling the occasional propaganda messages.

The role was originally was written for Lillian Gish to measure, but the Hollywood star had finally managed to retract the refusal studio UFA to use his official photographer. Murnau had noticed the beauty of Camilla Horn as she was backing in light of Lil Dagover Tartuffe.
an impressive visual beauty, this masterpiece of Expressionism is one of the biggest artistic and commercial successes silent film. To get the best performance of the novice actress, Murnau did not hesitate to shoot many times the slightest movement in a constant quest for excellence. How can we forget the grace and modernity set the comedian in scenes such difficult
q ue death of his child or his execution at the stake. After a sensational start as the star who just signed with the UFA, a few difficulties finding roles and above all a director of the same caliber. In 1928, she fell in love with the producer Joseph Schenck, who took with him to Hollywood, determined to make German actress Greta Garbo another. The choice of a partner as prestigious as the most revered of John Barrymore would logically allow the actress to become an American star, yet the filming of the Storm (1928) Sam Taylor proved very painful, John Barrymore already impaired by alcohol have the greatest difficulty to remember his lines, not to squint to stay awake!

films are shot in multiple languages for export, and Camilla also plays occasionally in the French versions (the song of Nations). It is also found in the German version of the five gentlemen maudits, a minor work of Julien Duvivier colonial accents annoying. Between 1932 and 1934, actress in several films in Britain: police officers second class who have little lasting impression. The musicals are very popular with the general public and Camilla lends itself to this kind of good grace: The Last Waltz (1934) is an adaptation of an operetta and a waltz with you, a frivolous comedy with enough removed Graveure Louis, opera singer from England who had triumphed on American stages. During 4 years, Camilla has shared the life of the singer in Berlin and his villa in Roquebrune on the Riviera. Suspected of espionage by the Nazis, Louis Graveure be saved in Fra nce
and the villa he shared with Camilla will be thoroughly searched, without success. Worried, the actress will hit a few times a prohibition to practice his profession. To avoid reprisals, it will therefore be constrained by Goebbels to pay its contribution to anti-Soviet propaganda film "The cruiser Sevastopol (1937).

He won considerable success of its distribution in occupied France in 1941. The What two beautiful songs hum Camilla Horn (the most memorable of his career) will also be a great success with us by Dean Martin.
In 1937, Camilla Horn plays in the German version of the Traveller by Jacques Feyder where she reprises the role of Mary Glory.

Like other actresses in disgrace, the actress is forced to shoot several films in Italy, including a remake of "Prison Without Bars (1941) L Moguy. It is said that Mussolini was very attracted by the star and the latter will admit having "flirted" with the dictator. Still married, she will also liaise with partner Luis Hurtado.
