Biography

Liane Haid, born Juliane on August 16, 1895, was a pioneering Austrian actress and singer who epitomized the "Sweet Viennese Girl" of the 1920s and 1930s. She transitioned seamlessly to sound films in the 1930s, appearing in comedies alongside notable stars, and established her own film company, Micco-Film, with the help of her first husband, Baron Fritz von Haymerle. Haid remained in Switzerland from 1942 due to the regime and fled to the US, but ultimately returned to Austria.
