If Curtis Bernhardt is a relative unknown, it's because he didn't direct his first Hollywood feature until 1940 at the age of 41. Bernhardt worked for years in Germany until his Jewish heritage made living there impossible by 1933-- he was arrested by the Gestapo and made a harrowing underground escape to France. With Europe plunging into war, he left for America in 1939. Despite his limited grasp of the English language, he was offered seven-year contracts at both Warner Bros. and MGM, largely on the strength of Carrefour (1938)-- which proved so enduring that it was remade as Dead Man's Shoes (1940) in the UK and as Crossroads (1942) by MGM. Most émigrés would have jumped an offer to work at MGM-- considered the "Tiffany" of film studios-- but Berhardt went with Warners, favoring that studio's reputation for hard-boiled realism. His career in Hollywood began with a false start; after working on his first assignment he fell ill and was reassigned an Olivia de Havilland vehicle, My Love Came Back (1940), that gained him good notices. Bernhardt rapidly achieved a reputation as a woman's director with occasional forays into suspense with varied results. He directed one of Humphrey Bogart's least popular films, Conflict (1945), which was burdened by ludicrous plot contrivances, but he snapped back the next year with a winner: My Reputation (1946), a melodrama starring Barbara Stanwyck. He had another misfire, however, with the critically panned Devotion (1946) and would end his contract with the studio after three more films in 1947, after which he moved briefly to MGM. Ironically, he would later look back fondly upon Warners' assembly-line production methods compared to his days at MGM, where he felt compelled to bend to the whims of its stars and serve at the behest of studio chief Louis B. Mayer. Berhardt managed to make two above-average films during his short stay at Metro, however--the suspenseful High Wall (1947) starring 'Robert Taylor (I)_ in one of his best mid-career roles, and The Doctor and the Girl (1949), starring the likable Glenn Ford.
Bernhard soon moved to RKO, which was entering its final chaotic decade, directing The Blue Veil (1951), a remake of a French film. He did a one-shot gig at Columbia, directing Bogie once again in the hopelessly set-bound Sirocco (1951), and rounded out the remainder of the 1950s back at MGM, ending his Hollywood career with the middling comedy Kisses for My President (1964) at Warners.
He retired from directing due to illness in the mid-'60s and died in 1981, age 81, at his home in Pacific Palisades, California.- Actor

- Benjamin Herd was born on 6 September 1991 in Worms, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
- Already in his school days he showed a strong interest in politics. In 1966 Gerster joined the SPD. After graduating from high school in 1968, Gerster did military service in the Bundeswehr, where he was promoted to major in the reserves. Gerster then began studying psychology and business administration at the University of Mannheim in 1970, which he completed in 1975 with a diploma in psychology. In 1974 Gerster was elected to the Worms city council for the SPD, where he was represented until 1990. In 1975 he ran for the first time in the Rhineland-Palatinate state elections.
Gerster entered professional political life in 1976 as personal advisor to the SPD parliamentary group leader in the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament, where he remained until 1977. In 1977 he entered the state parliament of his federal state, where he was represented until 1987 and again from 1996 to 2002. In addition to this political activity, Gerster also worked as a freelance consultant psychologist between 1981 and 1991. As a result of the 1987 federal election, Gerster entered the German Bundestag in Bonn. In the spring of 1991, Gerster was appointed Minister of State for Federal and European Affairs in the SPD-FDP state government in Mainz.
From this position, he subsequently rose to become SPD district chairman for Rhine-Hesse and deputy state chairman of his party. When the leadership of the Mainz government passed to Kurt Beck in 1994, he gave him responsibility for labor, social affairs and health. Gerster headed the department until 2002 and became a nationally recognized expert in social and labor market policy. He initiated the so-called "Mainz Model", with which he introduced low-wage jobs, combined wages for the long-term unemployed and additional private employment services with state support, which enabled him to noticeably reduce the unemployment rate in Rhineland-Palatinate.
In February 2002, Gerster was appointed new President of the Federal Employment Agency by Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. As the successor to Bernd Jagoda, who had fallen as a result of the scandal surrounding the BA's embellished placement records, the new head of the Nuremberg authority was confronted with the need for a fundamental reform of unemployment administration and labor market policy, which was required in the course of the restructuring of the social systems by the red- green federal government was created. However, after only 22 months in office as CEO of the BA, Gerster was forced to resign in January 2004.
He hit the headlines in connection with the conclusion of an excessive consulting contract. Gerster's successor was Frank-Jürgen Weise in February 2004. In November 2004, the public prosecutor's office stopped the investigation against Gerster because it could not find any intentional actions on the part of the former BA boss in connection with the so-called consulting affair. From the beginning of 2010 he was deputy chairman of the Network of German Health Regions.
Gerster has been married to Ingrid Kundel since 1986 and is the father of two children. - Kathrin Anklam-Trapp was born on 21 March 1968 in Worms, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
