Alice White

Warner Brothers' answer to Clara Bow. With the advent of talking pictures, White began to attract a level of popularity she had not achieved in silent movies. However, her career was severely damaged by a scandal that erupted over her sexual involvement with two different men. Although she later married one of these men, her reputation was tarnished and she appeared only in supporting roles after this.

Phyllis Barry -
A beautiful brunette from England, Phyllis Barry grabbed the choice role of 1932, that of the melancholy shop girl turned mistress in Cynara, the much awaited screen version of E.M. Harwood and Robert Gore-Browne's 1928 play. Based on poet Ernest Dawson's immortal line, "I have been faithful to thee, Cynara, in my fashion," the triangle drama was too downbeat for popular appeal and rather than enjoying instant stardom, Barry was relegated to playing a foil for comics Wheeler and Woolsey in Diplomaniacs and Buster Keaton in What, No Beer? (both 1933). Despite these setbacks, she hung around until the late '40s, playing ever-smaller roles. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide

Käthe von Nagy wanted to get married at the age of 16, therefore, her parents put her in the Santa Chrisitana Convent, near Vienna. After that, she worked in her father's office and besides started to secretly write short stories for newspapers. In Budapest, she studied acting, dancing and singing, but her parents were not very happy. In 1926, she went to Berlin to make movies. She got a small part in the film "Männer von der Ehe" (1927) and Wien, du Stadt meiner Träume" (1927) ("Vienna, City of My Dreams"). In 1930, she went into talkies with "Der Andere" (1930).
