Because her focus was on the theater she only acted in few more movies of the 20s. Still she was able to leave a permanent impression thank to several well-known movies. Especially her leading role in the legendary "Nosferatu" (1922) at Max Schreck's side granted her an entry into film history.
Despite these early success she did not play again in movies in the next years. Only from 1937 she acted again in front of the camera.
