Camilla Horn; German Actress

Camilla Horn, 93, German actress who graced Hollywood for a dozen years bridging from silents to talkies. She began her career as a dancer and made her motion picture debut in the German film “Faust” in 1926. A star of film-crazed Berlin before World War II, she made more than 70 pictures in Europe. She came to Los Angeles to join John Barrymore in the silent film “Tempest” in 1928, and stayed on to do such films as “Eternal Love” in 1929 and “The Royal Box” in 1930. Horn made her last American film, “Red Orchids,” in 1939 and then returned to Germany where she became a nightclub singer. She claimed that a friend ran away with the millions she had earned in motion pictures but that she “never forgot how to laugh.” On Aug. 14 in Herrsching, Germany.
