Evelyn Holt is a Actor Allemande born on 3 october 1908 at Berlin (German)
Evelyn Holt (1908–2001) was a German actress.
The daughter of a journalist, she began her film career at the UFA. The attractive young woman quickly advanced to main roles alongside Gustav Fröhlich and Hans Albers. After singing lessons, she was committed in 1931 as a soubrette at the Grosses Schauspielhaus in Berlin.
However, the Nazi takeover ended her film career after six successful years, since she was allegedly half-Jewish. Holt was prohibited from appearing in films.

In 1938 the couple emigrated first to Switzerland, then in 1940 to England, and later to the United States. There Felix Guggenheim was exile publisher of authors such as Thomas Mann, Franz Werfel, Lion Feuchtwanger and Alfred Doblin.
