The actress Anna Müller-Lincke was a successful stage actress in the late 19th century and worked on international stages in Europe and America. She made her stage debut at the age of four at the Nationaltheater Berlin.

She got married with the composer Paul Lincke in 1893 acted under the name Anna Müller-Lincke from now on. The marriage was divorced later.

As a popular stage actress - she was among others a honorary member of the club of Art and Science - it was a courageous step to gain a foothold in the disapproved-of film business.
But her daring payed off for her and the already over 40 years old actress became a popular star in the early period of the German film. She especially came it strong with comedies who aroused enthusiasm and was able to fill cinema halls.
To her early movies belong "Das 11. Gebot" (12), "Vater und Sohn" (13), "Wo ist Coletti?" (13), "Die Erbtante" (14), "Hans und Hanni" (14) and "Die Firma heiratet" (14) at the later director Ernst Lubitsch's side.

At the height of her popularity she took part in productions like "Die verflixten Junggesellen" (15), "Zofenstreiche" (15), "Drei Tage Mittelarrest" (15), "Frau Annas Pilgerfahrt" (15), "Musketier Kaczmarek" (15), "Jung muss man sein" (16) and "Der neue Herr Generaldirektor" (19).

She gradually stepped back to the second row in the 20's and impersonated impressive support roles on the big screen.
To her well-known movies of that decade belong "Flachsmann als Erzieher" (20), "Sündenbabel" (25), "Die Wiskottens" (26), "Die Garde-Diva" (29) and "Kehre zurück! Alles vergeben!" (29).

The talkies were no problem for the experienced stage actress and she appeared till brief to her death in popular movies like "Namensheirat" (30), "Lumpenball" (30), "Berlin - Alexanderplatz" (31), "Arme, kleine Eva" (31), "Kuhle Wampe oder: Wem gehört die Welt?" (32), "Der kühne Schwimmer" (34) and "Die Liebe und die erste Eisenbahn" (34).
