¿Quién se casó con Ivan Lebedeff?

Ivan Lebedeff est un acteur américain d'origine russe, né Ivan Vassilievitch Lebedev (russe : Иван Васильевич Лебедев) le 18 juin 1895 à Užpaliai (Lituanie ; alors Ushpol, Empire russe), mort le 31 mars 1953 à Los Angeles (Californie).

Wera Engels (12 May 1905 – 16 November 1988) was a German actress. After successful leading roles in productions of the well-established German UFA-studios in Babelsberg as well as in France, she was invited to Hollywood. Producers saw her as a cheap alternative to Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich.

She was contracted with RKO. She and actress Mary Pickford reportedly became good friends. In 1935 she returned to Germany, but left soon thereafter. Back in Hollywood, she dated Gary Cooper for a while but married Russian actor and writer Ivan Lebedeff. After Lebedeff's death in 1953 of angina pectoris, she moved back to Europe, where she stayed with several friends in London and Stockholm before she returned to Germany. She lived the rest of her life with Erna Hoffmann (widow of Heinrich Hoffmann, Hitler's friend and personal photographer) in the Munich area.
