Little is known about German stage and screen actress Ria Alldorf (?-?), who had a short film career between 1917 and 1921, acting in some 11 films. She surely had a career as stage actress before debuting in German cinema in 1917, in the Harry Higgs detective film Giovanni's Rache (Rudolf Meinert, 1917), starring Hans Mierendorff as Higgs. She then acted mostly in comedies in the years 1918-1919 at companies such as Karfiol-Film (Amor in der Klemme, 1918; Die Seebadnixe 1919 - both directed by William Karfiol), Eiko (e.g. Der Kampf der Geschlechter, Joseph Delmont, 1920, with Paul Hartmann). and Rire-Film (e.g. Der Badegatte, 1919).
In the early twenties Alldorf was e.g. the star of the two-part film Die Brilliantenmieze (Wolfgang Neff, Ima Film 1921), opposite Karl Falkenberg, also with Henri Peters-Arnolds, Margarete Kupfer, Bella Polini, and Grete Weixler in her last film role. The film was scripted by the highly productive Jewish scriptwriter Jane Beß, nom de plume of Herta Rosenthal (1891-1944), who was married to Ima-Film manager Alfons Fruchter and often collaborated with Neff. Her last film acting part Ria Alldorf probably had in Gerhard Lamprecht's film Die Erlebnisse einer Kammerzofe (1921).
