Timeline
Only German actress to date mentioned in the "In Memoriam" section during the telecast of The 69th Annual Academy Awards (1997).
By the time she died in 1996 she had been long forgotten, unlike her Jazz Age rival Marlene Dietrich.
She received a German journalist at the end of the 1980s only on the condition that the conversation was entirely about fashion and the fashion designer Werner Mahrenholz who had emigrated to England.
In the 1960s film historians began researching into her life. A British journalist got as far as her house in Ascona but she wouldn't let him in.
The property owned by the actress near a lake in the Wannsee section of Berlin (where the Nazis planned the Final Solution) was used in the early 1940s to house representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross from Switzerland, who were visiting Germany and Poland during the war to inspect prisoner of war conditions on both sides.
Supposedly director James Whale's first choice for his The Bride of Frankenstein (1935). She refused to come to America.
She was Josef von Sternberg's original choice for the starring role of Der blaue Engel (1930), which went to Marlene Dietrich.
UFA wanted to typecast her as a man-eating vamp: she twice had to play "Alraune", the legendary woman born of the seed of a murderer artificially placed in the womb a whore, who drives men to their deaths. By 1929 she had already attempted to refuse all vamp roles. She took UFA to court and lost; the trial cost her a fortune and after that she acted mostly in order to pay off her debts.
After her role in Metropolis (1927) she made a string of movies in which she almost always had the starring role, easily making the transition to sound films.
She didn't have the glamour of Dietrich or the divine aspects of Garbo, but Brigitte Helm was none the less one of the cinema's immortal icons. She was the virginal Maria and the hypersexed robot Maria in Fritz Lang's monstrous Metropolis (1926), one of the great classics of German silent films.
