The “famous” Film director from the first wave of German Expressionism. She lived until age 101.
I recall seeing a photo of Leni and Mick Jagger diving off a high rugged cliff into the ocean.
And she did her own stunts as an actress — which in this movie include some impressive freestyle rock climbing.
Apparently Hollywierd saved her from being executed as a war criminal because it saw her as one of their own.
