Polish silent film star Renate Renee is a bit of a puzzle. In the New York Times, we came across one brief, positive, mention of her performance in the 1929 film, "Rasputin." Otherwise, apart from lists of films she appeared in, nothing.
The name Renate (she was more often listed as Renati) Renee, is a bit like "Robert Bob," as Renee is basically a form of Renate, and neither of them is commonly used as a surname.
She also went by "Jadwiga" Renee, the Polish form of the German Hedwig. Where did she come from? Where did she go? Usually we find a snippet of an interview, a legal case, something, but not always.
Most of her films were silent, but she did make at least one talkie, in 1938, in Warsaw, Poland. Warsaw in 1938 was unfortunately on Hitler's list of favorite places to be invaded soon, and if once the war began she was using her Polish surname it is understandable if there is little information available.
