Ernst Udet, in the late 20's and early 30's he made about half dozen movies. He mostly played himself though.
Interesting, I didn't know that .
As cameos like "Hey look! That's Ernst Udet over there!", or in movies based on his exploits? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Mostly fictional adventure movies set in exotic enviroments (Africa, the NorthPole etc), a couple was with Leni Riefenstahl. He also sometimes filmed aerial scenes so he doubled as a photographer.

Some good links posted, and Ploughman out of all the members here I wouldn't have expected you to post yours. Not to insult you but... I agree with you; its spot on. Straight forward and comprehensive. As with the original link I'm surprised with some of these folks as I had no idea. And yes, we have had 2 Hollywoods.
Good thread![]()
