about

Trude Berliner (28 February 1903 – 26 February 1977) was a German actress and singer. Berliner was born Gertrude Berliner in Berlin, Germany. She became a famous cabaret performer in Berlin. In 1925, she appeared in her first movie, a silent film called Krieg im Frieden. Berliner would wait four years before her second movie, but her film career would then take off. In 1929, she appeared in Dich hab ich geliebt, which would become the first German talkie released in the United States. Berliner appeared in a number of well known movies in Germany during the 1930s; Masken, Ich heirate meinen Mann, Der Hochtourist, Die unsichtbare Front, Grossstadtnacht and Kaiserwalzer. Es war einmal ein Musikus was her last movie in Germany. Released in 1933, it also featured S.Z. Sakall. This was the fourth German movie that Berliner and Sakall appeared together in. Being Jewish, she left Germany when Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power in 1933 and went to France. In 1939, she immigrated to the United States. However, in Hollywood Berliner was not able to continue her promising movie career, receiving only bit roles in four movies, and it would be three years before she received any part in any movie. In 1942, Berliner received her first part in an American movie, Casablanca. She portrayed a woman playing baccarat with a Dutch banker (played by Torben Meyer). In her one line in movie, she says to the waiter Carl (played S.Z. Sakall), "Will you ask Rick if he will have a drink with us?"
