Life

Laszar graduated from the West Berlin Max Reinhardt School for Drama and began her theater career at the Renaissance Theater . She performed at the cabaret The Porcupines and at the Munich Schaubude . In the GDR she made a guest appearance at the Volksbühne Berlin .

At the “Theater der Zeit” in Munich's Goethesaal, Laszar played the general lover Fressy in Rolf Honold's play Geschwader Fledermaus, directed against the Indochina War . Director Erich Engel gave her the same role, as well as the female lead in his DEFA film of the same name .

She then got a permanent position at DEFA, moved to the GDR in 1958 and married Karl-Eduard von Schnitzler (the marriage was divorced after a short time). In crime films and political thrillers, she embodied cool, intelligent women. Initially seen in sympathetic roles, she has been regularly cast as a dangerous criminal since 1963.

In 1966, Wolfgang Carlé commented in the book Actors from Theater, Film and Television : "Let's hope that we will soon see Christine Laszar in a role that opens up new variants of her skills."

Laszar, meanwhile city councilor of Teltow , made guest appearances at the Volksbühne and appeared in television series. At the beginning of the 1970s she became a television editor for German television broadcasting , among other things she did artist portraits. After falling ill, she withdrew into private life in the 1980s.

Her first marriage was to the actor and director Rudolf Schündler . Their daughter Katrin became editor and presenter at the DFF.
