Charlotte Basté (born December 16 . Jul / 28. December  1867 greg. In St. Petersburg ; † 19th May 1928 in Dresden ) was a German actress and radio play spokeswoman .

Life

Basté comes from a respected family of artists, her father was the theater director Theodor Basté , her grandfather the actor Julius Basté . The actresses Käthe and Paula Basté were her sisters. Another older brother was also an actor.

At the age of three Basté was able to successfully debut in St. Petersburg (not in Bremen , as she herself thought) in 1870 in the one-act Kurmärker and Picarde as "Picarde" by Louis Schneider alongside her brother. According to her own memories, MarieNiemann-Seebach threw her first laurel wreath for this, along with a poem she wrote herself. She came to Germany with her family in the early 1880s. At the age of 15 she was committed to the Royal Theater in Berlin in 1882 , where she also had her artistic breakthrough.

After that she received offers from many large theaters. She performed in her hometown of St. Petersburg from 1884 to 1886 and then worked at the Dresden State Opera from 1886 . There she met the actor Franz Wallner and married him. In 1896 their son Franz Wallner-Basté was born in Dresden, who made a name for himself as a music , literary and theater critic , translator , non-fiction author , screenwriter and publicist .

In 1912, after more than 40 years of stage experience, she retired into private life. After more than a decade, after the founding of Mitteldeutsche Rundfunk AG (MIRAG) in Leipzig, she acted as a speaker in front of the microphones there. By the end of 1927, three radio plays (broadcast games) are listed in the ARD radio play database, in each of which she spoke a leading role. Since the information from that time is incomplete, the number of their contributions could also be higher.

Until the First World War she lived in the Villa Glasewaldtstrasse 8 , later in the Wägnerstrasse 18 . She died in Dresden at the age of 60 and found her final resting place in the Johannisfriedhof there .
