Life
Dorit Kreysler was the daughter of a k. and Imperial Cavalry Colonels. The heavily pregnant mother is said to have accompanied her husband on a maneuver to Budapest, so that Dorit was born in a field hospital. Even as a child she showed ambitions for the theater and whirled singing and dancing through her parents' apartment in Graz. The Viennese theater critic Dr. Lovestockl met her on the tram and is said to have been so impressed by her that he advised her to go to the stage. He went to see the parents so that the father finally consented. After taking acting and dance lessons, she was on stage for the first time in a Jedermann performance in Bohemia. From there she went to St. Gallen , Switzerland , where she mainly played cheerful roles.
After first film experiences between 1934 and 1935, she jumped in for the sick Renate Müller in "Rejoice in Life", she concentrated again on the theater stage. After guest appearances in the Berlin Metropoltheater in 1939, she concentrated entirely on her film work again.
Her best-known films include Wiener Blut by Willi Forst (1940), Carnival of Love (1943) with Johannes Heesters and Die Fledermaus (1946), in which she played Adele. In the Carnival of Love she sang the well-known and popular duet “Young Man (Have you ever kissed in the dark?)”, Which Michael Jary had written, with Heester . In 1945 she married Timothé Stuloff from Belarus. Their daughter Anja was born on the first day after the end of the war. In 1953 the marriage was divorced again. In the 1950s she played mainly in supporting roles and from 1957 concentrated again on her stage work. She played repeatedly in her hometown of Graz. Dorit Kreysler last lived in a senior citizens' and nursing home in Graz, where she died shortly after her 90th birthday.
She had two grandchildren, only one of whom is still alive, three great-grandchildren are among her descendants.
