April 17th is the 100th birthday of 1930s film star and vocalist Marta Eggerth. She is still with us – and still singing. The Washington Post has a nice article about the occasion.
Here are a few Marta Eggerth YouTube clips for your enjoyment:
A 1932 scene set in a record shop (sorry, embedding is not permitted on this clip)
Performing at age 82
A very pretty song from 1932
Many more great Eggerth film clips and recordings can be found by simply entering “Marta Eggerth” into a YouTube search.

Very nice idea of remembering a star of whom I didn’t know that she is still living. There are also very fine Youtube-clips from the old movie and a very interesting article link. That is why I love blogs! Thank you for this pleasure.
