She was born January 7, 1904 in Berlin as Ruth Levy, later Ruth Landshoff, to engineer Edward Levy and opera singer Else Landshoff. She came from a middle class Jewish family and grew up in Berlin. Her uncle was the publisher Samuel Fischer. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fembio.org/biographie.php/frau/biographie/ruth-landshoff-yorck/ )〕 She was given the name Ruth Yorck von Wartenburg after marrying Count David Yorck von Wartenburg in 1930. They divorced in 1937. Landshoff's first appearance in a film was in Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau's ''Nosferatu'' (1922), in which she played the role of Ruth. She also made a brief appearance in ''The Search'' (1922), a silent film by Carl Theodor Dreyer.〔 After attending Reinhardt's acting school, Landshoff turned to stage acting. She made appearances in Berlin, Leipzig, and Vienna before giving up acting. From 1926 to 1930, before marrying Yorck, she was in a relationship with playwright en screenwriter Karl Vollmöller who was 26 years her senior. One of her closest friends in Berlin was Swiss writer Annemarie Schwarzenbach. In 1933 she emigrated from Nazi-Germany to France, then to the United Kingdom, then to Switzerland and finally in March 1937 to the USA, where she worked as a writer and translator in New York City. She wrote novels, poems, and magazine columns.
