Pauli, Hertha, 1909-1973

A native of Vienna, Pauli was an actress and writer; after working in Germany, she returned to Vienna in 1933 and headed a literary agency there. In 1938 she fled via Switzerland to France and emigrated to the U.S. in 1941, where she lived in Hollywood and later in New York. She was a friend of Alma Mahler since at least 1940, when both were in exile in France. After her arrival in the U.S., Pauli met and married E. B. Ashton (pseudonym of Ernst Basch), who had emigrated to the U.S. from Munich in 1933. Ashton was the ghostwriter for the English version of Alma Mahler's memoir, And the Bridge Is Love (1958).
