She got a small part in the film _Männer von der Ehe (1927)_ and _Wien, du Stadt meiner Träume (1927)_ "Vienna, City of My Dreams".

Käthe von Nagy wanted to get married at the age of 16, therefore, her parents put her in the Santa Chrisitana Convent, near Vienna. After that, she worked in her father's office and besides started to secretly write short stories for newspapers.
