Born in Munich, she attended the Magda Lena drama school at the State Theater in Munich, where she made her debut in 1937 with a tiny role in Nestroy's Der böse Geist Lumpacivagabundus . In the same year she started her actual theater career with her first permanent engagement at the Bavarian State Theater in her hometown and at the same time (season 1937/38) appeared at the Memmingen City Theater. This was followed by engagements in Hamburg-Harburg, Danzig, Freiburg, Stuttgart, Lübeck and again in Hamburg, where she was committed to the Theater im Zimmer in the mid-1950s and finally to the Junge Theater , to which she was to remain loyal until well into the 1970s .

Her best-known stage roles were Gretchen in Goethe's “ Faust ” (which she was supposed to play in both Hamburg and Freiburg), Dona Proeza in Claudel's “ The Silk Shoe ”, the Rhodope in Hebbel's “ Gyges und seine Ring ”, Elisabeth in Schiller's “ Don Karlos ”, Alcmene in Giraudoux's “ Amphitryon 38 ”, Madame la Mort in Cocteau's “ Orphée ” and Gwendolen Fairfax in Wilde's “ Bunbury ”, which Mylius embodied in 1955 at the Berlin Tribune

Since 1953, Christine Mylius has been involved in movies from time to time, and from the mid-1960s television gained a little in importance in her career. There she took on several maternal roles. In his private life, Mylius was also a mother: His marriage to fellow actor Wolfgang Stumpf gave birth to two daughters, Andrea Jonasson and Isabelle Carlson , who also took up the acting profession.
