Biography

About Anita Berber

Edited by the community

German actress and exotic dancer Anita Berber was born in 1899, the daughter of a violin virtuoso. She studied acting under Maria Moissi in 1915 and dancing under Rita Sacchetto. Berber began on stage in Berlin in 1917 and quickly made headlines, as much for being the first sexually explicit nude dancer of the silent screen as for her dissolute, scandal-ridden private life. Addicted to alcohol and cocaine, she died aged 29 of consumption. She was married three times: to Eberhard von Nathusius (1919-1922), Sebastian Droste (1923), and Henri Châtin Hofmann (1924 until her death).
