Jewish?

[edit]

In Budd Schulberg's autobiography, it is said that Jannings had himself declared illegitimate in order to avoid being classified as Jewish--Jrm2007 (talk) 03:19, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Josef von Sternberg claimed that when Jannings was Hitler's Senator of Culture, he boasted to Sternberg that his mother was Jewish. (Must have boasted rather quietly.) 86.179.199.83 (talk) 14:04, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

wasn't he in a number of propaganda films during the war? the article seems to minimize his association with the nazis. for example, didn't he play the elder paul krueger in that movie where the germans accused england of inventing the concentration camp? just a thought.

"his acting colleagues Lubitsch and Negri"

[edit]

"His increasing popularity enabled Jannings to sign an agreement with Paramount Pictures and eventually follow his acting colleagues Lubitsch and Negri to Hollywood."

Lubitsch was an "acting colleague"? 2A02:AA1:101C:C6F8:3D16:FA52:E079:A273 (talk) 18:51, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
