Lucie Höflich's stepfather was the actor and director Georg Höflich, who worked for the Schauspielhaus in Berlin. The name of her mother was Dora von Holwede (1864-1928). Lucie made her stage debut when she was sixteen years old in Bromberg. In 1901 she was engaged at the Intime Theater in Nürnberg and in 1902 at the Raimundtheater in Vienna. In 1903 she first appeared at the Deutschen theater in Berlin and she worked there with Max Reinhardt until 1932. In 1913 she made her first movie and during the 1920s she could be seen in several minor parts. Her movie career never equalled her career in the theatre. In 1910 she married the art historian Georg Mayer. They had a daughter, the actress Ursula Höflich, but they divorced in 1917. Her second husband was Emil Jannings, but this marriage didn't last long. In 1933 she took over the management of the Staatlichen Schauspielschule in Berlin. From 1936 onwards she had her own acting school at the Berliner Volksbühne. After the war she was the manager the theatre in Schwerin from 1978 and 1948 and after that time she worked in Berlin again. There she died in 1956.
