Never Stop Beginning - The Ufa-Star Carola Hoehn

Between 1934 and the end of the war, Carola Hoehn appeared in over 30 films. In "April, April" and "Zu neuen Ufern" she starred in films directed by Douglas Sirk.

Johannes Heesters was her partner in "Der Bettelstudent", Willi Forst in "Koenigswalzer", Hans Moser in "Liebe streng verboten" and Heinz Ruehmann in "Hurra, ich bin Papa". Unlike the femme fatale Zarah Leander or the sing and dance queen Marika Roekk, Carola Hoehn specialized in playing modern, intelligent, open-minded young women. After 1945 she made appearances on stage in Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Bremen and Hanover. She was the German voice of stars like Katherine Hepburn, Irene Dunne, Maureen O′Hara and Danielle Darrieux. Theses dubbing assignments brought her from Berlin to Munich in 1950. In 1994 Carola Hoehn returned to the Berlin stage, playing the role of Mrs. Higgins in "My Fair Lady" at the Theater des Westens. "Don′t ever begin to give up - don′t ever give up beginning" is the motto of the ever-young and full-blooded actress. Robert Fischer has made this lively and passionate portrait, presenting numerous film clips, and newly shot footage of colleageus, friends and family, but above all - and in detail - Carola Hoehn herself.
