Brigitte Borchert

The last surviving performer from the seminal 1930 German film "Menschen am Sonntag (People on Sunday)" -- via voy.com. Why is this film so important? An independent film shot on a shoestring budget, it's a marvelous piece of work -- a last glimpse of pre-Hitler Germany. Among those involved were Billy Wilder, Edgar Ulmer, Robert and Curt Siodmak, Fred Zinnemann and Eugen Schufftan -- some of the greatest figures in film history.
