Biography
Camille Dalberg drew her first breath on 28 June 1870 amid the bustling riverbanks of Frankfurt, Germany. Before the century turned, she had already stepped before the camera, lending her voice and pen to the fledgling art of moving pictures. Audiences of 1912 first noticed her in After Many Days; the following year she embodied Hardy’s tragic heroine in Tess of the D’Urbervilles (1913), and by 1915 she graced the whirlwind family saga The Seven Sisters. Off-screen, she shared her life with fellow performer Charles Kraus. Nearly a century after her Frankfurt beginnings, she closed her final act in February 1968, quietly departing in the Bronx, New York.
