Hertha Thiele on AllMovie

Hertha Thiele was a German actress perhaps best remembered for her role in Sagan's 1931 film Maedchen in Uniform. Her adeptness of portraying a young girl on the cusp of womanhood also won her the role of young Anni in Kuehle Wampe in 1932. Her budding career was nipped when the Nazis came to power. In 1937, she left for Switzerland where she performed many odd jobs until returning to East Germany in 1966 where she resumed working in films and on television.
