Üabout Eserious Legal (Source: wikipedia):

Ernst Otto Edward Legal (* 2. May 1881 in Schlieben, province of Saxony; † 29 June 1955 in Berlin-Zehlendorf) was a German actor, director and director.

Life: Ernst Legal, who worked on the stage as well as in film, was chief director of the theater in Wiesbaden, where he was elected new director by the newly founded artists' council in 1918 in the course of the November Revolution. After his dismissal, he also worked in Darmstadt from 1924 to 1927 as a theater director and artistic director.[1] In 1927/28 he was director in Kassel, in 1931/32 at the State Theater in Berlin and later at the Hebbeltheater in Berlin-Kreuzberg. From 1938 to 1944 he was a director at the Berlin Schillertheater. Thanks to his striking facial features, he became a popular supporting actor in the film, and he was also seen in a leading role for the first time in the 1936 film Street Music. Another major role followed in 1937/38 in the film Musketeer Meier III.

1945-1952 Ernst was legal director of the German State Opera in Berlin. As director of the East Berlin Deutsches Theater (1947-1951), as a founding member of the Kulturbund and with his support of the Berlin Volksbühne movement, he exerted an important influence on the cultural life of the young GDR. He had his last major film role in 1946/47 in the DEFA film Kein Platz für Liebe. In 1950 his working conditions became increasingly difficult under Stalinization and in the controversy surrounding Bertolt Brecht's opera The Condemnation of Lucullus, he resigned from his offices in 1952. A supporting role in Wolfgang Staudte's film Der Untertan (1951) was followed by several film productions in West Germany. In 1955, the year of his death, Legal made his last appearance in a film.

Legal was a member of the 1. and 2. German People's Council.

Ernst Legal is the father of the DEFA actress Marga (Margarete) Legal, who was born in Berlin in 1908. She was banned from working under National Socialism because of her Jewish grandfather and lived in Prague during her emigration. His grandson is the actor and director Heinz Klevenow junior.

Grave: Ernst Legal died in Berlin in 1955 at the age of 74. His grave is in the Zehlendorf Cemetery (Field 6-46).[2] Ernst Legal's final resting place was dedicated as a grave of honor by the state of Berlin from 1987 to 2009.
