WHY HAVEN'T I LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE MANNS' CIRCLE BEFORE NOW?
Pamela Wedekind. Daughter of Frank Wedekind who wrote Spring Awakening (whose original production starred Peter Lorre and Lotte Lenya) and the Lulu plays (whose film adaptation starred Louise Brooks). Herself a cabaret singer, married to Carl Sternheim (Expressionist playwright, although I admit I've never seen any of his plays). That's just one of Mann's lovers. She had a role in the landmark lesbian film Mädchen in Uniform (1931). And everyone winds up in New York City with World War II! What the hell, universe. What the hell!
