Lizzi Holzschuh ~ This is a vintage original cigarette card form the series Bunte Filmbilder from 1936. This is card #150. It is smaller than a US baseball card (about 1½"x2¼"). This particular example is in excellent condition.

Lizzi Holzschuh (1908-1979) was a blond Viennese singer and actress in lightweight 1930s musical comedies, operettas, and romances. She appeared in Hubert Marischka's Im weißen Rössl (1931) at the Stadttheater in Vienna before she had her first movie part in Lumpenkavaliere (1932). In 1934 she played next to Willy Fritsch, Hans Moser, and Adele Sandrock in Die Töchter ihrer Exzellenz and this was her breakthrough. Himmel auf Erden (1935) and Unsterbliche Melodien (1935) followed. During the war she was in Falstaff in Wien (1940) and Reisebekanntschaft (1943). In 1945/1946 she was in the Fritsch movie Wiener Mädeln that was eventually released in 1949. Her career declined after 1945. She wasn't able to match her former successes, although she appeared in Weg in die Vergangenheit in 1954. She was married to Sepp Kern. She died on July 23, 1979 in Vienna, Austria.
