Mildred Cram's 1925 short story "Sadie of the Desert" and directed by Alfred

Santell. The silent film focuses on a relationship between New York salesgirl
Sadie Hermann (Dorothy Mackaill) and subway guard Herb McCarthy (Jack
Mulhall), who meet on a subway and become engaged. After Sadie receives a
promotion, she must choose between her new job and marrying Herb. The cast
includes Charles Murray, Peggy Shaw, Gaston Glass, and Bernard Randall. The
film began production in May 1926 and was distributed by First National Pictures.
Arthur Edeson served as cinematographer, shooting scenes in a nightclub and a
casino, and at Cleopatra's Needle in Central Park. Many publications wrote
positively of the film, praising its acting and Santell's direction. Today, it remains
unclear if a print of Subway Sadie has survived. A poster of the film can be seen
at the New York Transit Museum.

Career[edit]
Born in Garmisch-Partenkirchen,[2] Hfl-Riesch was a prodigious talent as a
junior and won seven medals in all of the disciplines at four Junior World
Championships, including three gold medals in combined and super-G.[3]

As the racing careers of Martina Ertl-Renz and Hilde Gerg concluded, Hfl-Riesch
rose as the leading female racer on the German national team. Injuries cut short
her seasons in 2005 and 2006, causing her to miss the 2005 World
Championships and the 2006 Winter Olympics.

During the 2009 season, Hfl-Riesch won four slalom events on the World Cup
tour and won the gold medal in the slalom at the World Championships. Prior to
2009, her most successful season was in 2004, when she finished third in the
overall World Cup standings, with three race victories. She also finished third in
the overall standings in 2008. In the 2007 season she won her second downhill
race, at Lake Louise, Canada.

Riesch won two gold medals at the 2010 Winter Olympics, in the super combined
and slalom. After finishing second in the overall World Cup standings in 2009 and
2010, Riesch built a big lead early in the 2011 season which was enough to win
the overall title, besting three-time defending champion Lindsey Vonn of the U.S.
by just three points. At the World Cup finals in Lenzerheide, Vonn took the overall
lead after the downhill, then Riesch reclaimed it after the slalom;[4] the super-G
and giant slalom races were cancelled due to poor conditions.[1] She retired
after the 2014 season after crashing in the downhill World Cup Final.[5]

Personal[edit]
Hfl-Riesch is also a nationally ranked tennis player and a cyclist.[6] Her younger
sister, Susanne Riesch, is also a former World Cup ski racer, specializing in the

slalom.[7] She is a chief constable in the Bundeszollverwaltung (German Federal

Customs Service) and a member of the custom service ski team.

One of her closest friends (and major rival) on the World Cup tour was Lindsey
Vonn of the United States.

Hfl-Riesch married her manager Marcus Hfl on 14 April 2011.[8]

At a height of 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in), she was one of the tallest women on the World
Cup circuit.
