Lia Borré aka Lia Borrée / Lya Borré/ Lya Borrée (c. 1890s-1920) was a German silent film actress who was very active during the First World War but succumbed to the Spanish Flu.

Lia Borré probably debuted in the 1915 Imperator film Im Feuer der Schiffskanonen by Walter Schmidthässler. She then moved to Decla for the Alwin Neuss film Die Stimme des Toten (1915-16). After Eugen Burg's Alles aus Gefälligkeit (Lux-Film 1916), she played the daughter of prosecutor Steffens (Max Rühbeck), in the artificial creature series Homunculus (Otto Rippert, 1916), about a man made creature (Olaf Fönss) who takes revenge on the world because his lack of love causes death.

After the Franz Hofer film Der Posaunenengel (1916), and a supporting part in the Ellen Richter vehicle Das Bacchanal des Todes (Richard Eichberg, 1917), Borré played opposite Else Kühne and Theodor Loos in Die Buße des Richard Solm (Arthur Wellin, Amboß-Film Dworsky & Co. 1918). In Irrwege der Liebe (Josef Stein, Deutsche Bioscop 1918) she was the beloved of Hans Albers. At Deutsche Bioscop she also acted opposite Carl de Vogt in Der Mann im Monde (Robert Leffler, 1918), based on Wilhelm Hauff's satire on dime novels. Opposite Eduard von Winterstein Borr╬ acted by the Munich based company Monumental Filmwerke: Nerven (Robert Reinert, 1919). She plays the wife of a factory owner (Von Winterstein), who has lost all faith in progress after the First World War. When the man's sister (Erna Morena) is rejected by a reformer (Paul Bender) who is popular for his speeches, the industrialist and his sister take revenge on him.

Lia Borré's last films were Der Knabe Eros (Paul Legband, 1920) and the posthumously released film Das Gold im Dschaggagebiet (Oswald Scheffel, 1923). She also acted in an undated film, Das Geheimnis von Santa Robina (Ludwig Rex). In addition to Filmportal, IMDB also mentions the films Die einsame Frau (Rudolf Del Zopp, 1916) with Harry Liedtke, Aussage verweigert (Hermann Wlach, 1916), Fliegende Schatten (Felix Basch, 1916) with Max Landa, and Aus Liebe gefehlt (Carl Heinz Wolff, 1917) with Lupu Pick,

Lia Borré died 26 January 1920 in Berlin, because of the notorious Spanish Flu.

Mogens Enger (1894-1918) was a Danish actor and director in German silent cinema. In 1918 he died at the age of 24 because of the Spanish flu.

Mogens Enger was born on 21 January 1894 in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was the son of bank manager Christian Enger. Probably his film debut was as a detective in the crime film Det røde Alfabet (Holger Rasmussen, 1915-1916) in which he seems to have had a lead right away, judging the photos on the site of the Danish Film Institute. This was followed by Doktor Mors (Dania Biofilm, unknown director, 1916) starring Poul Reumert. Between 1915 and 1918 Enger was active in the German silent film. As crime films were popular in Germany during the First World War, Enger would often if not always play detectives and crime police commissioners. He first acted in William Kahn's Der Fall Klerk, shot in 1915 and released in Berlin in February 1916, at the Berlin Tauentzien-Palast. Enger immediately got the lead in this film. The film dealt with a man (Enger) suspected of murdering his father (Emil Rameau), but X-Rays clear this suspicion. Enger subsequently became the hero as a detective in two Harry Piel crime films, Das geheimnisvolle Telephon (1916) and Unter heißer Zone (1916), after which he acted as the male lead opposite Hella Moja in three films by Otto Rippert made for Decla: Der Schwur der Renate Rabenau (1916-17), Wenn die Lawinen stürzen (1916-17), and Wer küßt mich? (1916-17). Other films from 1916 with Enger were Wahn und Wahnsinn (Carl Schönfeld, 1916), Und das Blatt wendet sich (Preben Rist, 1916), Die Nicht sterben sollen (dir. unknown, 1916), and the Danish film Natekspressens Hemmelighed (dir. unknown, 1916) again with Enger as a detective. In 1917 he could also be seen in Blinder Lärm (Eiko, dir, unknown, 1917), Die Bronzeschale (prod. Otto Grebner, 1917), Eine Perle auf dunklem Grunde (prod. Otto Grebner, 1917), Der Giftbecher (Fred Stranz, 1917), Der Fall Routt (William Kahn, 1917), and the Danish spy film I Spionklør (dir. unknown, 1917).

In 1917 Mogens Enger joined the company Imperator-Film with a series of films starring himself, first the war propaganda film Hoch klingt das Lied vom U-Boot-Mann/ Das Heldenleben des Erfinders der U-Boote Wilhelm Bauer (Kurt Matull, 1917) with Enger as the inventor of the German submarine. From Das verrufene Schloss Greifenstein, aka Ben Kabara/ Der japanische Messenwerfer/ Der javanische Messenwerfer (Siegfried Dessauer, 1917), Enger could be seen in crime films as crime police commissioner Ernst. Die Spur im Schnee/ Der Schatten im Fenster (1917), and Das Geheimnis der Wetterfahne (Kurt Matull, 1917) followed with Enger as Ernst. Enger directed himself in a two-part film: Marineleutnant von Brinken. 1. Der Schuldschein des Pandola (Mogens Enger, 1917) and Das Goldtal/ Marineleutnant von Brinken. II (Neue Serie) (Enger, 1918). In 1918 he also acted in Der eiserne Käfig (Siegfried Dessauer, 1918), Der König der Nacht (Siegfried Dessauer, 1918), Der flammende Kreis (Siegfried Dessauer, 1918), Falsches Geld (Kurt Matull?, Siegfried Dessauer, 1918), Der Fakir (Siegfried Dessauer, 1918), and Kinder der Liebe I. (Siegfried Dessauer, Mogens Enger, 1919). During the shooting of Kinder der Liebe, part I, Mogens Enger died on 9 October 1918, at the age of only 24, because of the third wave of the pandemic of the Spanish Flu. Siegfried Dessauer had to finish the film.
