She became the movie star of the very first "Titanic".

Though, this movie hit of its time was called differently.

And the fact that the film follows the Titanic tragedy is what the audience thought.

Who is she and what movie is this?

The Last Path


Ida Orloff died at the age of 46 in a result of suicide.

According to the memoirs of her contemporaries, in early April 1945 she refused to leave her house, although she was offered to move farther to the west to hide from the advancing Red Army. She believed that her knowledge of Russian would be a pass to a quiet life for her.

It is believed that she committed suicide out of fear of further violence against her by the Soviet military, having taken a large dose of sleeping pills after the first attack.This tragic event took place on April 9, 1945 in her own house in the suburbs of Vienna, the settlement of Tulnerbach (now part of the federal state of Lower Austria, Austria).


Reburied in the cemeterybetween the villages of Prefibaum and Rekawinkel, Austria (the first burial place was in the garden of her own house).
