Elza Temary

Elza Temary [Elsa Temary] (12 February 1905 – 16 February 1968) was a Hungarian film actress.

Personal life
Elza Temary was born Elza Klecker in Timișoara, Austria-Hungary.

After her active film career centered in Berlin, Germany which seems to have ended abruptly as Hitler took power, Elza married wildlife photographer / socialite Philip Chancellor and moved to Montecito, California, next to Santa Barbara. This is shown on the marriage notice at a London church. However, it was announced to the press that she was "Elza Tennair".

As Elza Chancellor, she was then occasionally in the press as a socialite and as Philip's wife. The Chancellors later moved to Los Angeles and in 1937 to Beverly Hills.

In 1937–38, Elza's husband, Philip was a witness in a trial as a British man, an alleged Nazi, was allegedly attempting to extort money from Philip, and use that money to allegedly fund the assassination of 24 prominent Hollywood Jews. The accused man was allowed to quickly leave the country and return to England.

After World War II, the Chancellors divorced and Elza later married a Mr. Splane and relocated to Tucson, Arizona.
