Born 20 April 1910 · Hamburg, German Empire [now Germany] · died 8 March 2005

Brigitte Mira was a German actress. She worked in both theater and film, often with Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

Brigitte Mira's mother was German and her father was Jewish Russian. During the Nazi dictatorship, Mira took part in the propaganda series Liese und Miese. She played Miese (germ. bad one)--the bad role model according to Nazi ideology that listened to enemy radio stations and stockpiled rationed food. But her acting skills turned the "bad" character she portrayed into a likeable one. The series was soon cancelled for being counter productive. The propaganda directors did not know that Mira was half-Jewish.
