Emil Jannings

Emil Jannings (July 23, 1884 Rorschach, Switzerland-January 2, 1950 Strobl) a.k.a. Theodor Friedrich Emil Janenz was a Swiss actor, film producer and film art director.

He is best known for his work in German and American silent films during the 1920s and early 1930s, and was the first actor to win the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1929. Jannings began his career in theater before transitioning to film, and eventually became a prominent figure in the German film industry. He worked with influential German filmmakers such as F.W. Murnau and Ernst Lubitsch, and also appeared in Hollywood productions such as "The Blue Angel" and "The Last Command." However, his association with the Nazi regime in Germany during the 1930s damaged his career and reputation, and he moved to Austria where he continued to work in film until his death in 1950.
