Vera Voronina
Toronto Daily Star, January 20 1927
Vera Voronina (1904-1942?) fled Russia with her family at the time of the 1917 revolution. She had appeared in films in Austria, Germany, and Britain before coming to America. Her first movie in the United States was The Whirlwind of Youth (1927).
She was dropped from her American contract in 1928 and then returned to Germany. Her career did not survive the transition to talking films, probably because she spoke with a thick Russian accent. She married a man named Nikolaus Awramow and then disappeared into history; her date of death is unknown, but some sources say that it was 1942.
