Comments
Austrian-American actress and soprano singer. She was one of the leading operetta singers in Berlin and Vienna. She was closely associated with Oscar Straus creating roles in six of his operettas including "Der letzte Walzer" in 1920. Massary fled Germany in late 1932 because of her Jewish heritage. She traveled through Austria and Switzerland to London, where she was befriended by Sir Noël Coward and starred in his "Operette" in 1938. In 1939 she moved to Beverly Hills in California, where she lived until her death in 1969.
