Born 1913 as Eleonore Maria Leisner, Hollywood actress Lenore Aubert found work as a model in New York and was eventually offered a stage role as Lorraine Sheldon in The Man Who Came to Dinner at the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego. She began her U.S. film career in the early 1940s.
Her European accent limited her choice of roles, and she played such parts as a Nazi spy and a French war bride. Aubert was most fond of her role in the 1947 film I Wonder Who’s Kissing Her Now, playing glamorous entertainer Fritzi Barrington. Her best-known role was as Dr. Sandra Mornay, a beautiful but sinister scientist, in the 1948 horror-comedy Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
On June 4, 1950, Aubert co-starred in “People vs. William Tait”, an episode of the television court show Famous Jury Trials. Her film career was basically over by the end of the 1940s. She died in 1993, aged 80.
