Publisher Notes: Conrad Veidt on Screen
- Conrad Veidt, a native of Berlin, began acting in small parts as an extra until called into service during World War I. After his discharge he began a theater career, starring in plays such as The Coral, that subsequently led to a film career and more than one turn as a director.
