Paula Negri was born in Poland to poor parents. Her father apparently was a Slovak immigrant tin master who had been arrested for engaging in revolutionary activities. According to Negri herself, her father never returned to his family after being arrested. Negri's mother apparently was a very poor noblewoman.

Negri largely owed her career to her schooling at the Imperial Ballet School where she played a cygnet in "Swan Lake." Then Negri contracted tuberculosis; although her illness was very brief. She quickly reovered and made her stage debut in 1913. She made her first film appearance in 1914. She quickly arose as one of Germany's most infamous actresses, as her career was honored most aptly by Max Reinhardt for her appearance in a film directed by none other than Ernst Lubitsch.
