Lenore Aubert was born in present-day Slovenia, at the time still connected to the Austro-Hungarian Empire . In the 1950's, Lenore joined her husband who was in the garment business in New York. The business succeeded, the marriage did not. With the exception of a couple of minor European films, Lenore's acting career was effectively over. She devoted much of her remaining life to charitable causes, doing work for the United Nations and the Museum of Natural History in New York.
Was discovered by a talent scout while performing in a Los Angeles community theatre production
In the 1960s was active in the United Nations Activity and Housing Section
She was the only woman to portray a mad scientist in the Golden Age of the cinema. This occurred when she was cast as Dr. Sandra Mornay in the movie Bud Abbott Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein .
Forced to leave Austria when the Nazis took over because her husband was Jewish, she fled to Paris, where for a time she was a model.
Her father was a general in the Austrian army.
Although her name and somewhat unidentifiable accent has led many to believe that shes French, "Lenore Aubert" is actually a stage name; her real name is Eleanore Leisner, and she was born in what is now Slovenia.
