Anny Ondra, 1920s.

Anny Ondra (1903-1987) was a Czech film actress. She was married to German boxing great Max Schmeling. She acted in Czech, Austrian, and German comedies in the 1920s; and in some British dramas, most notably Alfred Hitchcock’s The Manxman and Blackmail (both 1929). Ondra formed a production company, Ondra-Lamac-Films, with her boyfriend, director Karel Lamač. Lamac directed her in several silent films, acted with her in films directed by other filmmakers, and continued to work together after her marriage with Max. However, when Blackmail was remade with sound, Ondra’s thick accent was considered unacceptable, so her dialogue was recorded by actress Joan Barry. Anny Ondra made some 40 more films in the sound era, the last in 1957, and in total over 90 films.
