Ney fled Poland to the USSR after the German occupation to accept an invitation from Mosfilm, but was soon deported to Kazakhstan.[citation needed] In 1946 she moved to the USA with her daughter Joanna. Due to the language barrier, she managed to secure only minor non-speaking roles in American films.[citation needed] She was married four times. Her first husband was the cinematographer Seweryn Steinwurzel.[2]
