After she studied singing Edith Schollwer was engaged as a soubrette in Berlin from 1927 onwards. Her movie debut was in "Die Firma Heiratet" (1931). She made only three more movies until 1937 and then not a single one until 1951. During the 1950s she was in more movies than before. Because of several nose operations she looked differently over time. She continued her work on the stage as well. After 1945 she performed at the Hebbel-theater in Berlin and in 1961 she moved to the Renaissance-Theater. She was one of the permanent members of Günter Neumann's cabaret "Insulanern" (1948-1964). Edith Schollwer was married to the chamber singer Carl Jöken, who died in 1971. Together they made a few records on Electrola. Edith continued her acting career until 1993 and she died in 2002 in Berlin. Related persons • cooperated with Neumann, Günther • cooperated with Sais, Tatjana |
