Celia Lovsky
Celia Lovsky (February 21, 1897 – October 12, 1979) was an Austrian American actress. She was born Cäcilia Josefina Lvovsky in Vienna,〔(Celia Lovsky biodata on Petition for Naturalization as Cacilia Josefina Lowenstein ), ancestry.com; accessed October 7, 2015.〕 daughter of Břetislav Lvovsky (1857–1910), a minor Czech opera composer. She studied theater, dance, and languages at the Austrian Royal Academy of Arts and Music.〔Youngkin, Stephen R., ''The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre'', p. 32〕
==Life and career==
Lovsky married journalist Heinrich Vinzenz Nowak in 1919. By 1925, they were apparently estranged and she was romantically involved with playwright Arthur Schnitzler.〔Youngkin, p. 32.〕 She later moved to Berlin, where she acted in the surrealist plays ''Dream Theater'' and ''Dream Play'' by Karl Kraus.〔Youngkin, p. 39〕 There, in 1929, she met Peter Lorre, who had seen her in a production of Shakespeare's ''Othello'' near Vienna.〔 The couple traveled to Paris, London, and the United States. Lovsky was instrumental in bringing Lorre to the attention of Fritz Lang, leading eventually to Lorre's appearance in the film ''M'' (1931) directed by Lang.〔Youngkin, p. 37〕 They lived together for five years before their marriage, and stayed married until 1945, remaining close friends for the rest of Lorre's life.
After the couple settled in Santa Monica, California, Lorre had not wished Lovsky to work, believing he should be the breadwinner and she should remain at home. For the rest of Lorre's life, she was his publicist, manager, secretary, financial planner, nurse and confidant.〔Youngkin, p. 87.〕 However, after their divorce, she started taking roles in American movies and television. She made a name for herself playing slightly exotic roles such as the deaf-mute mother of Lon Chaney in ''Man of a Thousand Faces'' (1957) with James Cagney and Apache Princess Saba in the Jane Russell film ''Foxfire'' (1955).〔(Foxfire (1955 film profile) ), imdb.com; accessed October 7, 2015.〕
As she grew older, she was given dignified dowager roles, such as a Spanish matriarch in Bonanza's ("The Spanish Grant" ) (1960), Romany matriarchs, elderly Indian women, expatriate Russian princesses, and a brief but memorable role as the widowed mother of Reinhard Schwimmer, one of the victims in the film ''The St. Valentine's Day Massacre'' (1967).〔(''The St. Valentine's Day Massacre'' (film profile) ), imdb.com; accessed October 7, 2015.〕 Her final movie appearance was of the "Exchange Leader" in ''Soylent Green'' (1973). She delivers the final confirmation to Edward G. Robinson's character Sol about Soylent Green's true ingredient. She also appeared in the ''Twilight Zone'' episode "Queen of the Nile" (1964) as the elderly daughter of a never-aging actress (played by Ann Blyth). One of her other TV roles is as T'Pau in the ''Star Trek'' episode "Amok Time" (1967).
