Hi guys!

You will probably know that over the years, Gustav appeared on countless German and Eastern European postcards, as these were very popular back then for cinema stars and such - there are literally tons of these old postcards from the 20s, 30s, 40s and even 50s floating around among collectors, with some being snapshots/stills from his movies and other being portraits of him, alone or with his co-stars.

So, I just thought that I'd share some of my favorite ones from my own collection... Do you have any favorites yourself? If so, feel free to share!

Here is the first one, still one of the best in my humble opinion. Enjoy!

P.S.: Why does nobody ever talk about his HAIR? Magnificent. As Warren Zevon would say, 'his hair was perfect'.

i just got a new photo! this time it's the Austrian Hermann Thimig, one of the most popular Austrian actors in German–language cinema. during his life, he starred in hundreds of films, the most important of which are "The Doll", "The Wildcat", "A Night in Venice", "Threepenny Opera", "Paradise on Earth", and "Victor and Victoria". i will definitely tell you about the latter one day.

however, first I must introduce you to Hermann.

like Anton Walbrook, Hermann came from a famous acting family. his father, Hugo Thimig, was an actor, director and stage manager at the Burgtheater, one of the most important theaters in the world. Herman's brother and sister, Helene and Huns, were also actors. Helene was married to Max Reinhardt's.

Hermann made his debut at the Meiningen Court Theatre. since 1916 he performed at the Berlin People's Theatre (Volksbühne) under the direction of Max Reinhardt's. in the same year, he began acting in silent films. with the advent of sound cinema, Thimig moved away from the dramatic stage and played mainly in operetta films and comedies.

he starred with such widely popular actors as Ossie Oswald, Henny Porten, Renate Müller, Heinz Rümann, Hilde Hildebrand and Adolf Wohlbrück.

there is an inscription in German on the back of the photo, which I cannot translate in any way. please, if you are familiar with German, help me! it may not even have any historical value, but I'm terribly curious!

Brigitte Helm

Vintage German postcard. Ross Verlag, Berlin, No. 4380/1, c. 1929. Photo by E.O. Hoppé, London.

German actress Brigitte Helm (1908-1996) is still famous for her dual role as Maria and her double the evil Maria, the Maschinenmensch, in the silent SF classic Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1927). After Metropolis she made a string of over 30 films in which she almost always had the starring role. She easily made the transition to sound films, before she abruptly retired in 1935.
