Johanne Ida Editha Camphausen was born in Hannover, Lower Saxony, Germany on June 1, 1890. Camphausen has erroneously been confused with another actress named Magda Elgen in several biographies and therefore her film credits have been exaggerated
She began her film career in 1917 under the name Editha Camphausen and appeared in half a dozen films in four years.
Camphausen was married three times: from 1910 to the engineer Paul Walkemeyer, then from 1916 until their divorce in 1922 to Otto Lins-Morstadt and finally from 1929 until her death to Josef Zilcken, the owner of the Ahrburg in Golzheim in the Rhineland, on whose estate she henceforth devoted herself to horse breeding. She died of pneumonia a few months after the end of the Second World War in Kerpen Hospital on November 21,1945.
Editha appeared in two silent Eu-westerns both in 1920; “Die Geier der Goldgruben” and “Der kampf um den Goldfund”.
